1,200 hectares of mangroves have been conserved and restored in the Bay of Assassins Madagascar.

Mitigation of
climate change

Mangrove conservation projects have been developed at two sites in Madagascar. Project activities contribute towards the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of mangroves, the enhancement of mangrove carbon stocks and the prevention of deforestation and degradation. Beyond securing climate change mitigating and other ecosystem services of mangrove forests, blue carbon is being explored as a financial mechanism for community-based mangrove management in Madagascar.

 

Blue Ventures in Madagascar (BV) worked on rebuilding community fisheries through carbon market incentivized locally led mangrove conservation. The project is co-managed by Blue Ventures and the Velondriake Association and the area of intervention lies within the Velondriake Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA).

This page is an overview of the Madagascar Blue Forests project. For an in-depth version of the Madagascar case study, click here.
