Project Report | Dec 27, 2024
Reforestation with Endemic trees for Madagascar

We just launched our Reforestation 2.0 in our villages in Madagascar Project as a follow up for our reforestatiuon efforts in the next two years. The 2023 numbers in this report are also part of the project you helped us get fully funded. Thank you.

Mamy, the gardener from Tsaramandroso and Donné, our Zahana agricultural expert from Fiadanana, were both in the capital of Antananarivo to attend a training at the national forestry center.

This training is a new approach for tree nursery with a special focus on endemic trees. We also took advantage of the opportunity and bought more seeds of endemic trees from the national forestry center for our reforestation 2.0 program. Endemic trees, suitable for our region and climate will be a new focus for our reforestation efforts. They were told that endemic trees take more time to grow, that’s why they are valuable and need special attention.
 
Mamy has been chosen to be part of committee of leaders. He is like a role model in his village. His wife is acting teacher at the EPP (public primary school) in Tsaramandroso. She provided a training for our all of Zahana teachers to update their knowledge to fit the government program as required.
 
A quick summary
 
Tsaramandroso took the first place in number of trees planted and use of the improved cookstove. The representative requested solar lamps for the village to avoid petty thefts during the night as some ducks and chicken from the microcredit program were stolen in the darkness.

Report on reforestation 2023

Trees planted: 5877

Tsaramandroso        2264
Fiadanana               1123
Fiarenana                1284
Analakely                 1206
Total                        5877

Improved cookstove used in households:
Tsaramandroso 90%
Fiadanana         71%
Fiarenana          54%
Analakely          65%

A note: During the meeting everyone has been asked to share their one experience on awareness. This one was the funniest example of raising awareness through behavior without saying any word (from Mamy.)

Mamy’s little story: He lived in Tsaramandroso for many years. He was the first man to wear pants and having a haircut while other men wore short pants and long tousled hair. Seeing him like this, the others started to put on pants and cut their hair making them ‘nice looking’ as he remarked. Maybe his size gives him a charisma too, he is taller and bigger than the most in his village.

We hope that by the en-of-the-year tax season you might be in the position to support our reforestation 2.0.
