This beautiful nature is <strong>critically endangered <\/strong>by logging, forest fires and unsustainable agriculture. Only 3% of the original forest remains, and this has major consequences for both people and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, fertile agricultural land is being further depleted, making it difficult for people to grow food and to survive. Moreover, the search for new fertile land often takes place at the expense of remaining forests. All sorts of plant and animal species are also threatened with extinction, including the iconic baobabs and the fossa \u2013 a predator that lives only on Madagascar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why we carried out a pilot project in collaboration with the local organisation Dry Forest, contributing to the <strong>restoration and protection<\/strong> of Madagascar\u2019s forests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:2%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column
