The giant Indri lemur, with its haunting\u00a0 call and piercing stare is one of the most iconic. The Indri is critically endangered and, unlike the panda or tiger\u00a0 it cannot be bred in\u00a0 captivity or kept in a zoo. The Indri cannot survive without the forest. With \u2018Association Mitsinjo,\u2019 MfM is helping to save the Indri and other endemic species from extinction by replanting Madagascar\u2019s rainforest. Planting wildlife corridors around the Andasibe National Park, in eastern Madagascar, will provide endangered lemur populations with access to new territory. Using up to 60 different varieties of endemic tree we aim to plant 20,000 trees each year, working towards a goal of restoring 290 hectares of primary forest.<\/h4>\n<h4>At MfM, we understand that you cannot hope to conserve biodiversity unless local people can perceive the benefits of protecting the forest. Planting, maintaining and protecting trees provides local empolyment. To increase the benefit to the community further, MfM is also investing in environmental education, community based eco-tourism and improved sustainable agricultural practices.\u00a0 We are working to ensure that forest restoration and community development go and in hand. Improving the lives of people living around the forest is vital in protectecting the habitat and wildlife long-term.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Latest News and Appeals<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>If you are keen to make a difference by supporting our projects starting now, and would like to make a donation, then please click on one of the following links to do so.<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/?post_type=product&amp;p=9455&amp;preview=true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9451\" src=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/plantatree2-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/plantatree2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/plantatree2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/plantatree2-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/?post_type=product&amp;p=9456&amp;preview=true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9450\" src=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantanarea2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantanarea2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantanarea2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantanarea2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/?post_type=product&amp;p=9457&amp;preview=true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9449\" src=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantaforest2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantaforest2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantaforest2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/moneyformadagascar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Plantaforest2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ysouffa, head of Mitsinjo&#8217;s reforestation team, knows all about trees!
