We’re always happy to share our latest updates from the SAVA region of Madagascar. Over the previous months, communities continued to demonstrate the power of locally led conservation. Hundreds of farmers expanded agroforestry practices, restored degraded lands, strengthened women’s associations, and improved food security. Lemur research teams simultaneously documented thriving populations of critically endangered lemurs, and the environmental education team reached almost one thousand students with diverse lesson plans. Together, these efforts are helping create healthier forests, stronger livelihoods, and a brighter future for both people and wildlife.
Across restoration sites, farms, schools, communities, and forests, local people continue to take leadership in building a more resilient future. As restoration sites mature, environmental education expands, and communities strengthen their stewardship of natural resources, the momentum created during the last few months provides strong foundations for lasting conservation and community impact.
As always, we couldn’t do any of our work in Madagascar without our generous Lemur Center supporters. Your contributions are protecting lemurs, the habitats they call home, and helping the people of Madagascar who are best positioned to conserve the environment. Thank you from all of us in Madagascar.
