Association Soa Zara has as goal to protect the fragile ecosystems in our Ihorombe region. Due to large scale deforestation (for fire and construction wood) and the consequent erosion of the soil, our part of the region has little by little become semi dessert and rivers, once full with fish, have dried up. Animals, such as lemurs, have retreated inside the National park, where their habitat is protected but they lack living space to expand their families.
Association Soa Zara intents to reverse this dessertification process by protecting the few remaining forests by (1) planting trees for use as fire and construction wood next to villages as well as (2) planting trees to repair forests and recreating natural forests where they have disappeared and thus creating new habitats for the endangered wildlife. At the same time the association is creating a rehabilitation center where lemurs, that were once held as domestic animals or caught for lllegal export but were fortunately seized by the government, can get used to living in the wild again.Association Soa Zara has its tree nursery on the hotel compound and runs the hotels campsite. Please feel free to visit. In the season of april 2018 to March 2019 Soa Zara and their partners grew and planted close to 80.000 treesIf you want to help by sponsoring and planting trees or want to make a donation, please contact Soa Zara through the hotel reception.
