Annual report 2022

FOREWORD

 

Madagascar is not spared from the double crisis of biodiversity loss and climate change. The growing threat to our natural wealth requires us to support our efforts to protect nature every day. In 2022, we published our Living Planet report which gives the alarming facts about the loss of wildlife populations: 69% of biodiversity has disappeared in a few decades! A frightening fact, but one that encourages us to keep going, join forces and deploy all our expertise to reverse the trend and ensure a nature positive by 2030. These figures remind us that our mission is not over, nature needs us more than ever.

On the eve of WWF’s 60th anniversary, we have demonstrated our commitment to strengthening our engagement and collaboration with all our stakeholders. A synergy of expertise and knowledge at all levels is essential to our common goal of conserving our biodiversity and restoring what has been destroyed.

In this annual review, the key words are engagement and collaboration with all our stakeholders: communities, government, civil society organizations, private actors, anticorruption agencies and other key players, but also the voices of young people willing to take action for nature, which we value to help lead the change.

Forests, oceans, endemic species await us. So, let’s stay engaged in our efforts to build a Malagasy society that lives in harmony with their unique nature!
