Conservation de la biodiversité par la mise en place d'un système de suivi d'alerte précoce des pressions

The historical average deforestation rate (2005-2015) in the Beampingaratsy forest reference area is 749 ha/year. The Malagasy government, under the aegis of the Ministry of the Environment, has a number of policies and measures in place, but they are not having a significant impact on reducing forest pressure. As of 2018, the results of the Talaky project show a net reduction in deforestation of around 236 ha/year. By 2020, 74.75% of pressure alerts issued by Forest watcher are recorded using the GeoODK form and are all verified. These positive and concrete results are thanks to the use of Forest Watcher and GeoODK in forest conservation.
