FOREST FIRE
In November 2013, a man's charcoal fire burned out of control, starting a massive forest fire on the Eastern coast of Madagascar. The fire ravaged the man's land as well as over 20 acres of nearby rain forest.

GREEN AGAIN MADAGASCAR IS FORMED
Green Again formed in response to this tragedy. With participation from local villagers and support from academic advisers at the University of Tamatave, Green Again is working to restore the burned areas by 2019.
Today
Green Again is committed to a sustainable approach to ecological restoration that develops ongoing support and involvement among local residents. Our goal is to include the Malagasy people in the restoration work in a way that allows them to improve their standard of living while restoring barren land back into primary forest reserves.
