Project Description

Madagascar’s protected areas are islands of natural capital, upon which millions of people depend. Kew is leading a six year effort to developing a sustainable landscape management model for community-led forest conservation, carbon storage, and livelihoods enhancement across Madagascar’s protected area network.

This project is centered on robust monitoring and evaluation data, to help us understand exactly what works, where and why. Our group is supporting this by developing digital real-time data collection tools to help protected area managers across a wide range of conservation activities. We are also applying counterfactual analysis to understand the effects of protected areas and the wider programme at the landscape scale.

Project Details

Book James for a speaking event:

James is a highly acclaimed public speaker, delivering keynotes, lectures and debates to a wide range of audiences including students, the public, conservation practioners and scientists. Rather than further polarizing already divisive conservation topics, James aims to explain the complexity and nuance of conservation. What we choose to do over the next five decades, will profoundly influence the diversity of life on eath for the next 5 million years. It’s never been a more important, or more exciting time to be a conservationist.
