Raising Awareness in Village Communities

Developing an awareness of environmental protection.

What is a forest?

When we visited the Ankafobe Special Reserve, 50 km north of the project site, with our Nursery Manager Toky, it was the first time (!) in his life that he had seen a forest up close. The people of Fihaonana do not know what a forest is, how unique Madagascar's nature can be and why invasive plants, in relation to the project site especially invasive trees, are harmful to the environment. We will be running targeted awareness-raising campaigns along our forests, at schools and in the village communities from 2026 to educate residents about this.
