Dans le processus de la mise en place d’une Nouvelle Aire Protégée (NAP) « Complexe Bobaomby » situé au Nord de Madagascar, nous procédons, en collaboration direct avec la communauté locale, à la réintroduction des plantes menacées et la restauration de ses habitats, entre autres le baobab Adansonia suarezensis ou Bozivavy.

On the road to success for a restoration project in a protected area, there are many components to consider. But the most important is the nurseryman: how do you define a nurseryman? how do you guide him along the road to success? how do you deal with pests and diseases? .... So many answers to seek.

We were selected among the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) action to take part on the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Territories of European Overseas Initiative (BEST) and BIOPAMA Grants Knowledge Sharing Journey at the Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club in Nairobi (Kenya) on 02-06 May 2023. 80 participants attended this workshop including 25 IUCN staffs and 55 Grantees from Caraibes, Africa, Indian Ocean and Pacific regions.

Since 2019, we have started forest restoration initiatives in degraded areas of the Mangabe Protected Area (AP) (Moramanga District, Alaotra Mangoro Region) in order to maintain the integrity of the ecosystem. In 2022, five village nurseries were installed and 10 nurserymen were recruited and trained in nursery management and maintenance.
