The Manjarisoa project is a reforestation project located in North Eastern Madagascar, in the region of Toamasina (18°27'47.1"S 49°06'43.9"E). In the last 60 years, Madagascar has lost almost half of its tropical rainforest. In 2017, 510,000 hectares were destroyed, making Madagascar the fourth most deforested country in the world. Additionally, because Madagascar has been physically separated from mainland Africa about 200 million years ago, many of the plants and animals that live on the island are endemic to this territory, making it an extremely important biodiversity hotspot. Scientists estimate that about 90% of the flora in Madagascar are endemic, while about 85% of fauna is endemic. ForestCalling’s restoration efforts will generate significant environmental and social benefits, such as ecosystem restoration, species conservation and re-introduction, as well as contribute to local livelihoods. Local communities will plant a total of 194,484 native trees. The Project's 680-hectare forest has undergone severe degradation mainly from slash-and-burn agricultural practices, overgrazing and illegal charcoal production. As of now, the project consists in the rehabilitation of 300 hectares of tropical forest. A total of 91 people from the local community will be hired to build the one-hectare long nursery, grow the seedlings, plant 194,484 trees and monitor their growth over the next years. Additionally, the site was threatened of being erased and transformed into ponds for industrial fish farming by an Asian industrial group. The reforestation project is therefore essential to prevent such transformation from happening, and to protect and rest
