We're so grateful for the collaborations that drive Ivohiboro's conservation forward, including the generous donors that keep these programs thriving.

We hired hundreds of people across 4 new communities to help us protect imperiled, isolated patches of habitat for Ivohiboro's endangered and unique lemurs, as well as countless other species.

These efforts would not have been possible without our partners at MICET, who oversaw the implementation.

From the #GreatPlains pictured above to the #PalousePrairie of the inland Northwest to the forests of #Madagascar. Today, we hope you'll join us in recognizing and celebrating the numerous, diverse communities who have called this continent (and others) home since time immemorial.

We're right there with you 😭

We'll clean the seeds and grow a portion of them out to mature plants, returning them and the remainder of the seeds to South Dakota to be planted. Every single seed and plant will make it possible for others to grow, helping biodiversity and people thrive in the Plains.

Surprisingly, the main barrier to prairie restoration in the Great Plains isn't land availability - there's plenty of that. Instead, access to native seeds is rare, meaning anyone who wants to restore prairie is limited by low seed supplies.

Just like last time, we'll be located at Beasley Coliseum at 925 NE Fairway Road in Pullman, WA 99163 from 9am to 5pm, and we'll be open for TWO days instead of one (August 23rd and 24th). We hope to see you there!

If you came to Part One earlier this month, we have all new items at this new sale! We have household goods, hardware, camping supplies, sporting goods, kitchenware, tools, art supplies, and more available, many of which are NEW in the box. Come on by for great deals and support our work!

Many thanks to Ecosia for their generous support of these efforts, along with all our donors who make Ivohiboro's restoration possible.

If you'd like to help us keep up this critical work, please consider making a contribution.

The fire reduction has increased the landscape's water retention, allowing communities to 3x rice production as more H2O is available. Natural regeneration is underway alongside our Foxhole Forest restoration work too, meaning Ivohiboro and its biodiversity can continue to recover & thrive!
