In Mananjary District, Madagascar, residents in the village of Tsaravinary Ambohimiarina tend to seedlings in May of 2019 in one of the 20 nurseries set up by Catholic Relief Services through the SPICES project. Through this project, CRS is working to both reduce deforestation by providing local access to a range of tree seedlings, and bolster livelihoods through training and access to valuable cash crops like vanilla, pepper, cinnamon and turmeric. The goal of the SPICES project is to improve local management of forested and agricultural landscapes, strengthen adaptive capacity and reduce exposure to the risks of climate change.

The ASOTRY project, implemented by ADRA and funded by USAID/FFP, restores forests through reforestation activity. It contributes to mitigating global warming by soaking up greenhouse gas emission. In Madagascar where bush fire and slash hand-burn agriculture are a common practice, reforestation is crucial.
