Plant a tree and help to restore the unique Torotorofotsy Wetlands in Madagascar
Madagascar, an island of unique biodiversity, houses the Torotorofotsy Wetlands – a rare mid-altitudinal haven once untouched. Yet, in recent times, the menacing shadow of habitat destruction, accelerated by the incursion of a mining road, threatens its irreplaceable treasures. Animals and plants, exclusive to this part of the world, find their futures hanging by a thread.
Taking on this challenge, local initiatives are working to breathe life back into the degraded forests and help shape a society that values, understands, and champions its natural surroundings. By promoting eco-tourism, reforestation and sustainable agricultural endeavours, they’re lighting the path towards a brighter future for both the forest and its inhabitants.
Every tree planted is nurtured by the very hands of local people. People who once relied on practices that depleted the forest now stand as its guardians, planting native trees that will eventually connect fragmented patches of primary rainforest. And as these trees stand tall, they also stand as symbols – of resilience, transformation, and shared hope.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
