We are excited to formalise our partnership with Alterra through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding that strengthens our shared commitment to conservation in Madagascar. Together, we will advance research, restoration, environmental education, and community-based efforts in the La Mananara landscape.

Combining Expertise for Greater Conservation Impact

This work brings together Alterra’s technical support and conservation commitment and Wildlife Madagascar’s capacity building and research expertise. The collaboration represents a meaningful step forward in protecting Madagascar’s biodiversity while supporting local communities.

Through this partnership, we will expand our ability to generate critical scientific data, restore degraded habitats, and implement education programs that connect communities more deeply with their natural resources. By aligning our efforts, we are creating a more integrated and sustainable approach to conservation in one of Madagascar’s most important highland rainforest landscapes.

Together, we are helping to build a future where people and nature thrive.

About Alterra

Alterra is a Madagascar-based conservation and sustainable development organisation operating under the AXIAN Group, with a mission to create inclusive and sustainable green pathways to protect Madagascar’s endangered ecosystems. Working alongside local communities, Alterra leads reforestation and habitat restoration initiatives and promotes sustainable, fair-trade industries — including fruit production, essential oil manufacturing, and bamboo processing — that empower communities to protect their environment while building economic resilience. Their work at La Mananara will complement and strengthen Wildlife Madagascar’s ongoing programs in lemur research, native tree reforestation, forest patrols, and community education.
