Factsheet Mahafaly Plateau Land and Seascape

The spiny forest ecoregion is critical for all life on this remote region. It contains the highest percentage of endemic plant species in the country, with 48 per cent of the genera and 95 per cent of the species occurring nowhere else on earth. The coastal and marine ecosystem is alive with an estimated 6,000 reef-associated species, including 752 fish species and 340 coral species. Some of the main threats facing this landscape are a population growing at a rate of 3.3% per year, deforestation, uncontrolled and destructive fishing practices, difficult climate conditions and trafficking of species.

Factsheet Manambolo Tsiribihina Landscape

The mangroves lining this landscape’s coast provide important ecological services for the region. The mangroves provide timber and fuelwood for local people and also form a buffer, protecting coastal areas from storm surges and sea level rise caused by climate change. Most critically, they are a breeding ground for crabs, fish and shrimp, which are the main sources of food and economic value for local people. Major threats include overfishing and slash-and-burn agriculture, problems accentuated by poverty and social conflict.

Factsheet Northern Highlands Landscape

The most important forest corridor in northern Madagascar. The rugged territory is one of the last truly unknown corners of the world, with large areas not yet explored. It is also a critical wildlife corridor and the headwaters of rivers flowing to both the western and eastern sides of Madagascar. The immensity of the landscape means there are distinct challenges in different sections. In the west deforestation is a particular threat, while the eastern section is troubled by the illegal collection of forest products and small scale mining.

Factsheet Northern Mozambique Channel Seascape

The Northern Mozambique Channel (NMC) region is one of world’s outstanding marine and terrestrial biodiversity areas and a biological reservoir for coastal East Africa. The economic importance of the NMC has emerged as a future driver of national and regional development on a scale not previously realized in East Africa, due to the high fishery productivity of the Mozambique Channel, recent findings of globally significant natural gas deposits and a high potential for coastal tourism development. Accelerating population growth and demographic changes in the NMC region (growing to 30 million, by 2030) will increase demands for and pressures on resources, while at the same time providing opportunities for economic growth and building prosperity. Lackluster governance of marine resources, including low capacity, weak law enforcement (triggering expansion of Illegal fishing), inappropriate public investment and political instability, characterize the region.

State of Community Conservation, Summary

Community conservation is about managing natural resources sustainably to generate returns for rural people. Conservancies, community forests and other community conservation initiatives create the needed legal framework for this. By choosing to live with wildlife, rural communities are broadening their livelihood options as well as enabling a healthier environment.
