Activities to raise awareness of environmental issues

Did you know that the GoodPlanet Foundation supports the "Coalition citoyenne pour la protection de l'océan" launched on March 26, 2024 by the Bloom association?
This coalition, bringing together numerous associations and committed personalities, is a vibrant appeal in favor of protecting the seas and oceans.
This coalition is particularly important, especially since the Presidency of the Republic officially launched the Year of the Sea on September 21, 2024, the city of Nice will host the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference in June 2025.  

The GoodPlanet Foundation takes action on the groundvia projects for RESERVATION & RESTORATION OF MARINE ECOSYSTEMS & COASTAL(currently in Madagascar, Indonesia and Senegal).

FOCUS ON THE PROJECT:
 
"Local governance of a protected area in Sainte-Marie" (SDGs addressed: 2, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 15)
Madagascar is one of the world's poorest countries, and the island of Sainte-Marie is particularly hard hit. In 30 years, over 25% of the island's forests have been destroyed/degraded, while fishery resources are also experiencing a major decline, even though they are essential to the island's 30,000 inhabitants to ensure their food security.
This project to create a protected area aims to preserve Sainte-Marie's remarkable biodiversity, through local governance of resources and territory,and the direct protection of 182 ha of mangroves and 800 ha of coastal forest, while improving the socio-economic resilience of the most vulnerable communities.

For many years, the GoodPlanet Foundation has pursued a very inclusive policy in terms of accessibility to its programs. The aim: to educate all audiences about sustainable development issues, with a stronger focus each year on young people with the least access to such education (priority neighborhoods, REP, REP+, disabilities...).

In September 2024, new programs are therefore being launched with local authorities and associations in the social field to strengthen the GoodPlanet Foundation's actions with these vulnerable audiences, who are particularly impacted by topics related to the "sustainable world".
For a holistic approach, programs systematically address identified themes (biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and food, zero waste, energy, world cultures, water and oceans) while highlighting intrinsically linked themes: solidarity, education, gender, etc. A necessary approach for understanding the interdependence between subjects and levers for action.
The Foundation aims to educate 6,000 people a year, from social structures and REP/REP+ schools, by 2026. A challenge it hopes to meet - thanks in no small part to you!  :)

Created in 2006 by the GoodPlanet Foundation, the "Action Carbone Solidaire" program's mission is to combat global warming by proposing sustainable and economically viable alternatives to polluting activities, for the benefit of the most disadvantaged populations. Each project systematically combines economic and social well-being with adaptation to environmental challenges.
Indonesia boasts the largest expanse of mangroves in the world. The country alone is home to a quarter of the world's mangroves (FAO, 2007). Following the aquaculture boom of the 1990s, Tanakeke Island lost almost 70% of its mangroves, from 1,776 ha to 500 ha. The island's inhabitants depend on the ocean and the state of its ecosystems for their livelihoods, but as a result of the industry crisis, 80% of the aquaculture ponds have been abandoned, threatening local biodiversity and livelihoods.Faced with these issues, this 36-month project will ultimately enable the transformation of 70 hectares of former fish breeding ponds into mangroves, through ecological restoration, but also sequester several tons of CO2. 

As an operational partner, Blue Forests focuses its environmental and social action on coastal areas through the adaptive management of critical watersheds in Indonesia. Its vision is to strengthen the social, economic and ecological resilience of coastal populations. To achieve this, Blue Forests works directly with communities, particularly women and people in situations of economic vulnerability. 

Created in 2006 by the GoodPlanet Foundation, the "Action Carbone Solidaire" program's mission is to combat global warming by proposing sustainable and economically viable alternatives to polluting activities, for the benefit of the most disadvantaged populations. Each project systematically combines economic and social well-being with adaptation to environmental challenges.
Malawian communities are at the origin of the project, which consists in the installation of 5 drinking water access systems powered by solar water pumps in the rural commune of Manjalende, in the Phalombe district, as well as the creation of a nursery in this commune.
In Malawi, women spend an average of 54 minutes collecting water per day. On a global scale, the 200 million hours that women and girls spend each day collecting water constitute precious time that can be devoted to other activities (UNICEF, 2016). 

This installation project will give them access to drinking water for domestic consumption and a water supply for the nursery, which will enable them to produce tree seedlings and vegetable seeds. The aim is to put 5 solar water pump systems into operation, providing daily access to drinking water for 6,000 people, as well as creating a nursery self-managed by the community, and training 5 local mechanics.
