Our Initiatives

Together with local organizations in Madagascar, CPALI advances three interconnected initiatives with one goal: conservation through poverty alleviation.

Nature-Based
Textiles

Supporting a thriving circle of local artisans–primarily women with limited economic opportunities–to grow their skill sets and sell stunning wild silk and raffia products to local and international markets.

Agroforestry for Resilience

Helping local farmers plant native trees and understory species in rainforest-bordering agroforestry systems generates added income for families from wild silk and raffia harvests while producing food and other crops. This supplemental income helps keep kids in school while restoring critical areas for at-risk biodiversity.
