🌍 Restoring Hope: Madagascar’s Fight Against Land Degradation

Navigation

Madagascar, home to some of the planet’s most unique biodiversity, is facing an environmental crisis. Years of unsustainable land use, deforestation, and climate change have left vast areas degraded — threatening not only ecosystems, but also the livelihoods of millions.

Why Land Restoration Matters

Restoration is more than just planting trees. It’s about healing ecosystems, rebuilding soil fertility, and creating long-term solutions for food security, water access, and climate resilience.

The Demand4Restoration initiative bridges the gap between communities in need and restoration experts by identifying degraded land, assessing the real needs, and coordinating tailored ecological restoration efforts.

Ongoing Projects

  • Agroforestry Zones in the Highlands: Integrating native trees and crops to improve soil health and income.
  • Mangrove Rehabilitation in the West: Restoring coastal ecosystems to protect fisheries and reduce coastal erosion.
  • Community Mapping with Mobile Tools: Local people are trained to document land degradation and monitor progress.

Join the Movement

Demand4Restoration invites everyone — farmers, students, researchers, NGOs, and government agencies — to become part of the restoration journey. Together, we can build a greener and more resilient Madagascar.
