Grow TreeMad with us this Christmas!
Millions of trees. Thousands of lives.
The first £4,000 will be matched by Conservation Allies until December 31st
Kickstart the 2026 growing season
This Christmas, your gift helps us move into 2026 with full momentum, right as the crucial Jan – Feb planting window opens. Thousands of young saplings, grown in our nurseries over the past year, are now ready for planting, right in the middle of the rainy season.
Conservation Allies is generously matching the first £4,000 raised until December 31st, doubling your impact! Your support strengthens community training, nursery care, native seed collection and the large-scale planting sessions that lay the foundation for a year of shared growth.
The right trees, for the right reasons, in the right places
In rural Madagascar, trees not only anchor biodiverse ecosystems, stabilising soil, climate and water sources, but are equally central to the local economy.
Through TreeMad, we grow a carefully chosen mix of food, income, utility and forest trees. Each species is selected for a clear purpose, and each sapling is not just planted in the most beneficial places, but nurtured all the way to healthy and lasting maturity.

“Feedback Madagascar's TreeMad project is the most realistic and ambitious tree planting programme the island has ever seen. Please give it your support.”
For Nature,
Against Poverty
For 30 years and counting, we have been working with over 500,000 people across more than 540 partner communities in Madagascar’s south-east to care for its unique forests and build better lives together.
Because people and forests alike are threatened by the extreme poverty, we tackle it all: clean water, health, education, livelihoods, human rights, and forest and wildlife conservation, as interconnected parts of one living system.
Why Madagascar?
Because there is no place quite like it.
Madagascar is alive with culture, community spirit, and remarkable biodiversity. Its forests are home to 5% of all known species on our planet, around 80% of which are found nowhere else.
Yet it is also the world’s 5th poorest country and one of the most affected by climate change. Here, poverty and environmental loss are deeply connected, and regenerating and protecting these precious ecosystems begins with addressing the challenges that leave people no choice but to depend on forest resources for survival.
