Protecting “Africa’s Galapagos”
Cartier for Nature supports Birdlife International’s team in Saõ Tomé and Principe in their efforts to protect the natural treasures of the archipelago and prevent its unique animals from going extinct. Birdlife works closely with local communities and authorities to halt deforestation and protect the islands’ most vital primary forests, which harbour many of their most threatened endemic species. They create incentives for farmers to conserve natural resources by engaging them in agroforestry and other environment-friendly activities that generate extra income and strengthen the capacity of local conservationists to ensure the long-term impact of their work.
