| Description | The objective of the project is that biodiversity and habitat are conserved in the globally significant highland forest corridor of Anjozorobe, Madagascar. This will be achieved by promoting a model of sustainable community-based management within the context of a Regional Forest Reserve (RFR). |
| Implementation Status | The first funds flowed for this project in August 2004. A Mid-Term Evaluation was conducted in September 2006. The Project continues to make satisfactory progress towards meeting its objective. The Project has sought to integrate biodiversity conservation and production activities through the development of a multiple use protected area. This has been established, under a temporary edict, covering an area of 52,200 hectares, of which 24% is to be strictly protected, 70% for sustainable use management, and the residual area transferred to community tenure. A key achievement of the project has been to stabilize the forest edge, which had been severely threatened by forest clearance. This has been achieved by securing the commitment of local government and community authorities. An important change has been the improvement in enforcement, with the active involvement of local forest committees. The project has introduced a new adaptive management process, with the intention that it becomes the modus operandi for forest conservation |
