Support Local Farmers
Farmers raise native silk moths on host trees they plant, earning income from cocoons while regenerating degraded land.
Families gain fair income. Native species return.
The farmers and artisans we partner with in northeastern Madagascar live on less than $3.00 a day on the edge of the island’s largest remaining rainforest. Your gift funds dignity through fair income and helps regenerate habitat for wild species in a global biodiversity hotspot.
