The Comoros
of today
and tomorrow
Our Programs
- Forests
The Comoros have experienced one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world over the past 30 years. As a result, only ten rivers on the island of Anjouan still flow continuously, compared to 50 around 40 years ago.
- Agroforests
The natural resources of the Comoros, particularly on Anjouan, are under severe pressure due to the very high population density, widespread poverty and dependence on agriculture for 80% of the population. The semi-traditional agricultural methods practised are mostly extensive and fail to meet these challenges.
- Marine
The Comoros are located at the heart of the second richest marine biodiversity area in the world. This marine wealth faces pressing challenges: climate change, overfishing, and the degradation of reefs, particularly due to pollution and destructive fishing techniques.
