Save from extinction the most endangered trees found outside of protected areas in Madagascar. For at least 36 trees species, project partners will set up expeditions, gather data about repartition and phenology, and get material (seeds and tissues) for testing ex-situ reproduction, preparing later strengthening of wild populations.

Strategic Direction: 1 Empower communities and civil society to implement actions to improve the resilience of species, ecosystems, and human populations to climate change in priority KBAs
