CPALI's initiatives engage local communities bordering the largest remaining intact rainforest on the island of Madagascar. An estimated 1% of the world’s biodiversity is represented within this region.
We work through local partners to engage and empower farmer and artisan leaders. By cultivating native resources and securing a market for them we improve the economic lives of families living on the margins of protected forests while regenerating nature.
Regenerative Agroforestry
We support local farmers to plant native trees in rainforest-bordering agroforestry systems to generate income for families from wild silk and raffia harvests while producing food and other livelihood staples. The income helps keep kids in school while restoring critical areas for at-risk biodiversity.
