Together we build
The Demand4Restoration project is driven by a collaboration between eight partners across Madagascar, Switzerland, and the Netherlands — combining scientific research, field-based expertise, and community engagement. These include: the University of Zurich, Wageningen University, the School of Agronomic Sciences at the University of Antananarivo, the SAVA Regional University Center in Antalaha, DLC SAVA Conservation / MICET, the Mada Resilient Forestry Association (AlaTsimarefo), INDRI, and the Tropical Biodiversity Social Enterprise.
Our team
Demand4Restoration brings together a diverse network of partners—researchers, practitioners, and communities—committed to building socially and ecologically effective restoration practices.
