Grow a Baobab at Home
to help us to Restore Forests!
Over 100,000 hectares of these forests, and the rare plants and animals in them, disappear to logging every year In Madagascar.To reverse this dramatic decline, we at Vakanala, a non-profit organization, have established a large nursery in the Madagascan village of Iantoha, which allows us to plant more than 20,000 trees just this year, but we can't do it alone. To support us, we are offering seeds of a Madagascan baobab tree (Adansonia za) for you to plant at home. The funds raised here will go directly reforestation program to help us grow year over year. Each seed purchased helps fund the planting of two new trees.

Welcome to the website of our NGO, whose name, "Vakanala" means " Pearls of Forest" in Malagasy. Indeed, Vakanala, young non-governmental organization, has set a goal to preserve the many little fragments of primary forests of Madagascar.
These fragments, the last remnants of natural forests which covered the Red Island before our era, are of paramount importance : it is first real sanctuary for the unique biodiversity of Madagascar, which it is a last refuge, but it is also a natural resource vital to the survival of rural communities to which they provide many services, natural raw materials, natural storage of rainwater, soil fertility, fight against desertification, and many others.
