Kew's work in Madagascar

Succulent conservation

Projects supported by the Threatened Plants of Madagascar Appeal are attempting to save six of the most threatened succulents of Madagascar from the brink of extinction. Public support has helped fund our work with the Antsokay Arboretum, which includes a botanic garden and protected area of Spiny Forest in southern Madagascar. The most urgent need is to train the staff of this relatively young arboretum in propagation techniques and in the conservation management of living plant collections.
