Age Of Union And Re:Wild Announce Strategic Partnership To Scale Up Global Conservation Efforts


(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Madagascar has lost over 90% of its original forest cover due to slash-and-burn agriculture and overexploitation of natural resources, placing countless species, including many endangered lemur species, at risk. Re:wild has been working with local organizations to build national and community support for the protection and sustainable management of these irreplaceable forests. In order to restore Madagascar's biodiversity, Re:wild and Age of Union will collaborate alongside local communities to develop and implement programs focused on forest monitoring and regeneration, keystone species conservation, and economic growth.

In 2025, Re:wild will channel Age of Union's first USD 200,000 towards:

  • Advancing management of priority sites , with a focus on Madagascar's eastern rainforests alongside several local partners.
  • Catalyzing investment in the nation's Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA ) alongside a diverse coalition of partner organizations, government collaborators, and local and national stakeholders. KBAs are critical to the persistence of global biodiversity and the planet's overall health.
  • Bolstering targeted species recovery by launching a funding mechanism called "The Madagascar Biodiversity Action Fund" to support the conservation of Madagascar's most threatened species and their habitats.

To commemorate the official launch of the Age of Union and Re:wild partnership, both organizations will co-host an exclusive evening party on Friday, March 14th in downtown Austin, Texas. Curated by Refraction and featuring Age of Union's immersive art exhibition The Black Hole Experience (BHX) Season 2 , guests can enjoy a live panel, cocktail hour, auction, and dance party by headlining DJ Tiga. BHX will be open starting at 6 p.m., with the exclusive Age of Union x Re:wild party running from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Visit HERE to register for tickets.
