Our work

Why Madagascar

Madagascar has lost 45% of its natural forests in sixty years, according to a study by Cirad (external site), the French agricultural research centre.

Without trees, the soil becomes poorer and slides away in heavy rain. Springs dry up. Village families are the first to suffer.

Most of the island’s plants and animals, such as lemurs, live nowhere else in the world.

Reforestation

We plant together with the villagers. They know the land and look after the trees once they are planted.

Each project has a location, a number of trees and a budget. You can follow its progress on this website, figures included.

Support for villages

Planting trees only makes sense if families live better. We support the villages where we plant, according to their needs.

Villagers often send us messages and videos to thank donors. You can find them in the messages from the field.

Field missions

Members of the association travel to Madagascar to prepare the plantations and meet the villagers. On site, they check that the trees are growing.

When they come back, they share photos and news in our news.

Records and data

We keep a record of every plantation: location, number of trees, photos. These records measure the results and help us choose the next projects.
