Forests and biodiversity in Madagascar - F&B
The biodiversity of the primary forest in Madagascar is a global treasure that must be preserved. However, this cannot be done at the expense of the people whose livelihoods depend on its many uses. The platform is working to address a dual challenge - preserving the forest and alleviating poverty - by involving local communities in the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and the ecosystems in which they are found. To this end, its research is both multidisciplinary and conducted on various scales.
