Dahari leads innovative conservation and development initiatives across the Comoros archipelago, focusing on biodiversity protection, sustainable agriculture, and community empowerment. As the leading local environmental organization in Comoros, they work to protect the islands’ unique ecosystems while improving the livelihoods of rural communities.
The organization implements integrated programs that combine forest and watershed protection, sustainable agriculture development, and biodiversity conservation. Their work includes protecting critical habitat for endangered species such as the Livingstone’s fruit bat, implementing agroforestry systems that enhance both food security and environmental protection, and developing ecotourism initiatives that provide alternative income sources for local communities.
Since their establishment, Dahari has successfully protected thousands of hectares of forest habitat, helped hundreds of farmers adopt sustainable agricultural practices, and contributed significantly to the conservation of several endangered species. Their watershed management programs have improved water security for numerous villages, while their livelihood initiatives have increased agricultural productivity and household incomes across their project areas.
