Map the remaining forests of the Comoro Islands to study the drivers of deforestation and the possible alternatives to cultivation and extraction of ylang-ylang, an essential oil that is a key element in the local economy; and define conservation plans for two important endangered species relying on these forests, Livingstone's fruit bat (Pteropus livingstonii) and mongoose lemur (Eulemur mongoz).

Strategic Direction: 2 Enable civil society to mainstream biodiversity and conservation into political and economic decision-making.
