Mangroves are a cluster of halophilic plant formations found in the tidal zones of estuaries, deltas, lagoons and bays. They provide important coastal resources and also play a key role in the carbon cycle.

In Madagascar, mangroves are largely found on the west coast, of which 98% are on the shores of the Mozambique Channel, and about 2% are on the northeast coast. It is within this 2% that our project areas are concentrated.

With more than 10 years of experience, Graine de Vie wishes to restore these degraded mangrove areas and raise awareness among local communities about the sustainable management of their environment. To ensure the sustainability of our actions, we adopt a transversal approach by involving the local population in all phases of our activities.
