WHERE Madagascar
Summary
If protected areas (PAs) are surrounded by impoverished, nature-dependent communities, they will be vulnerable to increasing pressures. Our work has shown that PA managers in Madagascar (including government, NGOs, and local communities) lack capacity to tackle these social dimensions as required by international commitments and national policy. We will provide training, follow-up support, and a synthesis of the evidence on social impacts of environmental and development interventions to empower each of these stakeholders to work better towards resilient PA management.
