A quick look back at one of our farmers and her family proudly harvesting the results of their Forest Garden—a reminder of how trees can support both livelihoods and landscapes.

#FoodSecurity #Agroforestry

Successful agroforestry starts with thoughtful site selection. Factors like soil quality, water availability, slope, and sunlight all influence how well trees and crops can grow together.

Planting in mangrove ecosystems isn’t easy.

It often means trekking through thick, muddy paths to reach the right spots.

But placing propagules in these areas ensures they get the moisture they need to grow strong and healthy.

#LandRestoration

Before each planting activity, our team gathers to review best practices for propagule collection and proper planting techniques. Here's a glimpse of the dedicated team making it all happen on the ground.

This little guy is a mudskipper—part fish, part land explorer.

Found in healthy mangrove ecosystems like those in Madagascar, mudskippers can breathe through their skin and even “walk” on land using their fins.

Their presence is a great sign that the mangroves are thriving.

Did you know?

Mangroves can survive in saltwater by filtering out up to 90% of the salt through their roots—or excreting it through their leaves. It’s one of the reasons they thrive along Madagascar’s coasts where few other trees can.

Don´t cute the wrong species ;)

In just 3 years, the Pine tree (Pinus) can soar over 5 meters, making it one of the fastest-growing species! 🌱✨ Loved by birds 🐦 and nature alike, its fallen branches naturally enrich the soil, providing mulch and manure to fuel even more growth. 🌿

Small tree now, but give it a few years, and we’ll be fighting over the best shade🌳
