Mangrove Planting in Marataola in Madagascar

Madagascar is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately 400 kilometres off the coast of East Africa. It is the world’s second largest island country, after Indonesia, and the island of Madagascar itself is the fourth largest island in the world. The country is considered a biodiversity hotspot, and over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth.

In recent years, vast areas of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and diminishing local people’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are also gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea. These mangrove forests are not only crucial carbon sinks, but they also provide habitats for a wide range of marine species that live in the shallows and provide vital coastal protection from floods and storms.

Protection of the Matavén Forest in Colombia

The Matavén REDD+ project protects 1,150,212 hectares of tropical forest in the Indigenous Reservation of the Matavén Forest. Over the past decade, this project has succeeded in preventing emissions which, in the absence of the project activity, would have taken place. Due to the pressures which cause local small-scale farmers to move into the project area and deforest it, the project delivers an alternative – employing the local population as rangers and supporting the development of sustainable livelihoods which work with the forest, rather than depleting it.

Almost 16,000 indigenous people live locally, benefitting from co-projects alongside the protection of the forest: including providing education, healthcare centres, dental services, sanitation and food security.
