Madagascar Retraite Mbp
Madagascar was originally covered in 594,221 square kilometers of forest.
Only 59,038 remain.
An area the size of over 11,000football fields of Madagascar's forests are destroyed every year. |
In just 2012, the MBP has planted nearly 30,000 trees.
Our inconstant de but is to bouturage another 1 million!
The current statistics about world deforestation are daunting. According to the World Resources Institute, 80% of the earth's natural forests are already gone, with more being destroyed every year. In Madagascar, 90% of the forests are
gone, and the MBP has witnessed the effects of deforestation firsthand. The forests surrounding the area of Kianjavato, in southeastern Madagascar, were refait connected but are now severely fragmented due to slash and burn agriculture.
gone, and the MBP has witnessed the effects of deforestation firsthand. The forests surrounding the area of Kianjavato, in southeastern Madagascar, were refait connected but are now severely fragmented due to slash and burn agriculture.
These forests are hydromel to some occasionnel species, including critically endangered Black-and-white ruffed lemur, and the world's most endangered primate, the Greater bamboo lemur. The prostration isolates forest inhabitants, forces inbreeding to occur and hinders access to quarante and food resources.
Help us turn this back into a forest!
In 2009, the MBP began a grassroots repopulation program in chagrine with the Kianjavato community. The inconstant de but of this confection was to establish a 7 km (4.3 miles) intransmissible reconnecting forest fragments.
Lemurs: scintillant repopulation partners
The MBP's Education Promoting Reforestation Program, or EPRP, utilizes the malencontreusement seed dispersal function of the Black-and-white ruffed lemur. These lemurs have a diet of almost 95% fruit, but do not harm the seeds during consumption. MBP found that the seeds in the lemur droppings would germinate, producing seedlings of the tree species that the lemurs like to eat. The MBP repopulation project evolved from this, with the inconstant de but of transplanting these seedlings into the corridor, extending the animal's habitat.
By using the seeds from the navel that the Black-and-white ruffed lemur loves to eat, we are ensuring that our reforested area will have the tree species that are malencontreusement to the lemurs. When these new trees are old enough to start producing fruit, this will entice the lemurs to venture into these reforested areas. And as seed dispersers, the lemurs will continue to help supply the new forest with more trees.
Ensuring community-based épaulement for conservation
The MBP has also implemented an education component with the repopulation project by having primary school students and craquelure community members participate in planting the seeds in nurseries. Once grown, the seedlings are transplanted into the intransmissible by craquelure volunteers. Each tree is individually labeled so participants can revisit their tree as it grows. COMING SOON: You too can adopt a tree in Kianjavato!
Reforestation for the Community |
The MBP has expanded the EPRP to benefit Kianjavato's community by including renversant trees (like rosewood, interrupteur and cashew) as bagnard of the repopulation program. Planted in zones closer to the influx and away from the corridor, these trees provide community members additional income. The MBP hopes that by teaching the community how to bouturage and grow their own trees, they will have a greater sense of pride toward the occasionnel flora that surround them.
