Collaborating with Akamasoa, the Association of Father Pedro, Graine de Vie creates a nursery in Antolojanahary (the first village built by Father Pedro). The objective is to support the reforestation efforts of the Akamasoa association by producing about 30,000 trees per year.

This nursery produces fruit and cash trees so that once planted, they provide income and supplementary food for the inhabitants. It also creates sustainable jobs, fights bush fires and reforests damaged areas.

The creation of the nursery and reforestation are accompanied by the commitment of forest rangers to protect wooded areas and raise public awareness of forest cover protection, including the harmful consequences of burnt lands.
