Pro-Natura International
Project support in Madagascar and Mozambique
For the “Our Planet Reviewed” initiative to expand knowledge of the “gaps” in the exploration and description of biodiversity hotspots worldwide. The initiative is being launched by Pro-Natura International and its partner, the National Museum of Natural History. An initial two-year program will take place in Africa, where marine and terrestrial operations will focus on the most threatened biodiversity hotspots in Madagascar and Mozambique. A series of terrestrial and marine expeditions will be conducted to complete a detailed biodiversity survey focusing on both the richest and the least well-known species. The survey will involve 150 to 200 international scientists and technicians on different expeditions over the course of five months.
