WHERE Madagascar
Summary
Despite unparalleled endemism, species diversity, and rich natural resources, Madagascar has one of the world’s highest poverty rates, which has only deepened in recent years. This trend is closely linked with degradation of its natural resources. This project will deliver approaches and capacity for the effective use of drones to help monitor conservation targets and interventions, and respond to threats more effectively, helping to reverse the decline in natural resources on which four out every five of Malagasy people depend.
