SAVING OUR PLANET WITH NEVENA
Madagascar is more than just an island from an animated movie. It’s a nation with over 200,000 species of plants and animals that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. But more than 90% of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and taking away the Malagasy’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea.
Your funds support the non-profit Eden Reforestation Projects as they continue to reforest the island. Eden are world leaders in responsible reforestation, having already planted 265 million trees and created 2.6 million work days for local communities.
We have our own designated land, to the north west of the island, near Marataola. Here we are planting in an area of 1,354 hectares (about 180km2). We’ll be planting our first two million mangroves here, then we should be able to move along the coast as our contributions continue grow.
