Madagascar has 2% of the world's mangroves, in terms of area. They are very important, as they contribute to climate change mitigation, are very rich in biodiversity and provide essential goods and services to coastal communities. Unfortunately, deforestation and degradation of these mangroves are increasing on the island.

Conscious of the degradation of the environment, Bôndy participates in the restoration of a mangrove located on the outskirts of Maromiandra, close to the Betsiboka river.

The Betsiboka River, located in the North West of Madagascar, is the largest mouth of the island. It is one of the most rapidly changing coastlines in the world. A century of extensive exploitation of the rainforests and coastal mangroves of the red island has resulted in the clearing of the land and in erosion rates that are more than alarming.

In the 21st century, the problem is such that coastal rivers easily fill up with sediments and are thus obstructed. A process well illustrated in the Betsiboka.

Bôndy's mission is to plant mangroves in a sustainable way while including the local communities. Creating new cooperatives with different villages through a VIABLE and SUSTAINABLE project.
