Madagascar

Forest Conservation

     Madagascar is one of the many areas where WWF seeks to protect the remaining patches of forest is the humid Anjozorobe corridor, which contains the largest surviving area of Madagascar’s high plateau forest.

Freshwater Conservation

     Years of deforestation in Madagascar have not only caused erosion but also stressed freshwater resources.

     On the east-southeast coast of Madagascar, where a large forest block has been reduced to a narrow band of forests that varies from 15 to 20 km in width, the poor management of water is a major problem for local people.

     WWF helps communities to access clean and safe drinking water and to manage water resources for agriculture, in particular rice, without relying on slash-and-burn practices.
