The Organisation
Bôndy was founded with the crazy idea of helping Madagascar change its nickname from ‘red island’ to ‘green island.’ Indeed, Madagascar is known worldwide for having fantastic fauna and flora, but deforestation and climate change have significantly impacted the country.
In 2021, the UN declared the first famine in Madagascar, 100% due to climate change, impacting millions of lives.
At Bôndy, we know that Madagascar will need a lot of help to get back on its feet. We are committed to doing the most we can with a long-term vision by conceiving a concrete plan to plant and protect trees and educate communities about the benefits of environmental consciousness.
Before becoming operational, we decided to take our time to create a model that would fit Madagascar. We carefully analyzed the situation in the country and used this information to develop robust solutions by developing:
- Conserve coastal areas by protecting and maintaining existing coastal vegetation or plants.
- Conserve and maintain coastal biodiversity through planting to increase the area of mangrove forests, peatlands and other coastal ecosystems in line with low carbon policies.
- Encourage, develop and promote small businesses by creating people’s economic institutions that make sustainable use of marine resources and coastal ecosystems.
- Creating a thriving, prosperous and creative coastal community
Join our mission! It’s only together that we will make Madagascar green again!
