Almost 11,000 men, women and children have been displaced by Tropical Storm Jude, which made two landfalls in Madagascar this month – a situation made even worse by extreme food insecurity, and risk of disease associated with lack of food, and storm-related chaos. The World Health Organisation reported that as of Tuesday 18 March, 10,587 people have been displaced…
Today, 21 March 2025, is the International Day of Forests, a moment where the world can take a moment to appreciate – and hopefully commit to protecting – the environment of which we are all a part and upon which we all rely. The theme of this year’s recognition is ‘Celebrating Forests and Food’, a matter especially close to…
A study suggests that an agro-forestry project in Panama collects less carbon than it had originally hoped to. Though it should not be the responsibility of people – like those of Panama and Madagascar – who live in carbon sinks to collect carbon for the rest of the world, MfM and Malagasy people are doing so, even as they…

The 35 MEPs…

The World Bank reminds us that Malagasy people are among the world’s poorest, and that development need not threaten the environment on which we all rely. Our work follows this vital and accurate mantra. We join the Bank in calling on the world’s richest nations help Malagasy livelihoods improve in environmentally-friendly ways. As we approach the end of the…
An accident of birth means Malagasy communities, including some living in severe poverty, find themselves charged not only with somehow keeping themselves and their families alive, but also with protecting some of the planet’s fertile and dynamic rainforest. These two imperatives could clash with and contradict one another, but under our DAF programme, they are instead complementary. Because of…
