      Madagascar is well-known for its rich biodiversity and wealth of endemic species. It is expected that Madagascar will suffer especially from drought in climate change scenarios, with resulting impacts on ecosystems' services and human well being. Reforestation is listed among the priorities of the National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA). Through payment for ecosystem services (PES) reforestation can greatly contribute to different adaptation strategies, for example through increasing soil resilience, supporting food security, creating alternative sources of income for the communities, as well as establishing migration corridors for the species. To attain those objectives the project is running activities such as forest re-creation with nurseries and plantation, awareness raising on the importance of forests and the reintroduction of traditional agricultural practices. This article also gives an overview of the methodology used to implement a payment for ecosystem services scheme. Tags:                adaptationradar
