Madagascar - A vast reforestation program

In order to contribute to environmental protection and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, each year, reforestation is an integral part of the activities of the Ministry of Mines and Strategic Resources, the Regional and Interregional Directorates as well as its affiliated organizations. Furthermore, mining operators will be reminded of these commitments to reforest their mining site, research site or another site as compensation. Monitoring programs will be considered for this purpose.

The objective that the State has set for itself during the reforestation campaign is to continue everyone's efforts after the completion of the 500 hectares reforested in Ankazobe Tamponketsa. Already in March 2019, President Andry Rajoelina announced, as part of his general policy, the reforestation of an area of 40,000 hectares per year with a minimum of 40 million young plants endemic to the Big Island.

According to the results of a mapping study, Madagascar lost 965,000 hectares of forest between 2005 and 2013, or approximately 120,000 hectares per year between 2010 and 2013. This is not only due to mining, but also to livestock farming, forest fires, particularly tavy (slash-and-burn agriculture), as well as the commercial exploitation of precious woods, and finally, energy production and construction. Reforestation is therefore essential.
