Learning to save water in Madagascar

Project Goal: Efficient use of water resources, protecting forests

Project Scale: 35,000 people living on the Mahafaly Plateau are benefiting from the WWF's water management program

Project Investment: 260,000 euros since 2006

The Mahafaly Plateau is one of the driest corners of Madagascar, and climate change poses a serious threat to people’s livelihoods. The WWF has set up a water-management program which not only serves to protect forests, but also helps locals use their water resources sustainably, and therefore improve their farming opportunities.
