More than 90% of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and taking away the Malagasy’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea.


The project includes two National Park systems, which aim to reforest and revive natural habitat for endangered and endemic animal species.
