Protection of the baobab forests of western Madagascar: a sustainable commitment until 2028
The “Protection of the Baobab Forests of Western Madagascar” project, scheduled to run until 2028, aims to preserve biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of local communities in the protected areas of Andranomena, Kirindy Mitea, Menabe Antimena and the Avenue of the Baobabs.
Covering 381,000 ha, including 190,000 ha of forests, these ecosystems are home to unique fauna and flora, essential for climate regulation and water resources.
Led by a consortium bringing together Madagascar National Parks, Fanamby and Durrell, with the financial management of FAPBM, the project strengthens forest security, reforestation, sustainable agriculture and the autonomy of protected areas. The Hempel Foundation supports these actions by improving coordination and the fight against deforestation. The efforts made benefit both nature and local populations.
