The project aims to restore up to 30,000+ hectares of degraded mangroves through natural regeneration and active reforestation to benefit biodiversity, provide coastal protection, create local employment and alternative revenue sources, and sequester CO2.

BIODIVERSITY

The project will restore valuable wildlife habitats and corridors, including for the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) and the long tailed grey macaque (Macaca fascicularis; both endangered species per the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species). Mangroves also serve as important nursery and breeding areas for fish and crustaceans. These breeding areas enhance the abundance and diversity of fish in nearby seagrass and coral reef ecosystems.
