CPALI's initiatives engage communities bordering the largest remaining intact rainforest on the island of Madagascar. Over 1% of the world’s biodiversity is represented within this region.
We work through local partners to engage a network of farmers to cultivate native resources and secure a market for them. This helps improve the economic lives of families living on the margins of protected areas while regenerating forests.
Agroforestry for Resilience
Helping local farmers plant native trees and understory species in rainforest-bordering agroforestry systems to generate 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.
