Madagascar: A Forest for the Future

Madagascar needs your help! This unique island is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Evolving in isolation for 88 million years, today 82% of its plants and 90% of its animals are found nowhere else. But after centuries of deforestation, this extraordinary wildlife is now under serious threat.
Up to 90% of Madagascar’s natural habitats have already been lost, and in the Vangaindrano District, just a single forest remains: Ankarabolava-Agnakatrika. It’s the last home of lemurs in this area, a nesting site for threatened hawks, a treasure trove of strange rare plant species and an indispensable resource for the local Antesaka people.
By joining World Land Trust and the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Madagascar Programme, you can help to expand this precious habitat by 200 ha, restoring degraded land with 500,000 native trees and bringing 1,000 new jobs to local communities. Natural disasters and human exploitation are threatening the forest’s survival, but with your help, we can secure its future.

I am a British born late 20s adult in extreme poverty (even though I am accessing a laptop to type from - it's complicated) and I still have travel goals and hope that in my retirement (if I survive that long) that I can visit the world's best nature spots...and I certainly hope that by my 70s there's still be healthy,natural,fruitful, lush, gree forests to visit and enjoy.
