Our Programmes

Applied research and monitoring-evaluation

Applied research and monitoring-evaluation

  • Strengthen applied research programs to better understand the population dynamics of target species such as Grandidier's baobab and golden mantella.
  • Update databases on flagship species and share results with authorities and stakeholders to improve conservation strategies.
Restoration of natural habitats

Restoration of natural habitats

  • Intensify active restoration efforts in Protected Areas and management transfer zones in collaboration with local communities, particularly through agroforestry and planting of native species.
  • Maintain a dynamic database onrestoration actions and train nurserymento support these initiatives.
Community engagement

Community engagement

  • Strengthening the capacities of VOI (Vondron’Olona Ifotony) to improve governance and management of natural resources.
  • Increase the economic benefits of communities by developing income-generating activities, particularly through the promotion of products.
Economic valuation of endemic species

Economic valuation of endemic species

  • Promote sustainable economic sectors based on endemic species, with particular attention to compliance with environmental and social standards.
