The Menabe region of Madagascar attracts many migrants from neighbouring regions, or even from further afield, not only for its climate, but also for its agricultural potential, enabling the exploitation of high value-added agricultural products. The phenomenon of mass migration is at the root of conflicts and environmental degradation in the destination area. The Menabe region boasts a wealth of marine and terrestrial biodiversity, and is home to several protected areas, including one of the main protected areas in Madagascar's National Protected Area System: the Aire Protégée Menabe Antimena (APMA). In order to meet their needs, migrants with no access to arable land in the area are putting pressure on land within the protected areas, resulting in deforestation. As a result, the surface area of the APMA is declining. In light of the above, the objective of the project is to contribute to the efforts of the Government of Madagascar in safeguarding protected areas and strengthening the climatic resilience of migrant populations. The project will seek to do so by supporting authorities, migrant populations and host communities in the restoration of degraded land in the "lower Tsiribihina" (Outcome 1) by developing the capacities of authorities, host communities and migrant populations on the links between migration, environment, climate change and sustainable development (Output 1.1) and by raising awareness among migrant populations and host communities on the sustainable management of protected areas (Output 1.2). In addition, the project will enable authorities, migrant populations and host communities to collaborate in the management of conflicts and bushfires (Outcome 2) by developing the theoretical and practical capacities of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in the fight against bushfires (Output 2.1) and by encouraging social cohesion between host communities and migrant populations for the sustainable management of protected areas (Output 2.2).
