Mangrove having unique characteristic in the world create several benefits to its belonging niche. Integrated mangrove aquaculture (IMA) is one of the initiatives which replicate the natural ecosystem of mangrove and related water resources. Black Tiger Shrimp which is the iconic species of Sundarbans mangrove forest has huge market value and demanding cultures species for the coastal farmers. BEDS introduced this IMA practice to the shrimp farmer where the farmer planted mangrove in the dyke of the farm instead of cutting them. They regularly monitored the mangrove by watering and measuring the growth of the mangroves. The planted mangroves are now growing very well and started to attract it’s adjacent biodiversity. Fallen leaves of this mangroves providing microbes as food for the shrimp under the water and green leaves of the mangrove eliminating carbon from the atmosphere. It’s a win & win situation for the human and environment. Ecological and economic benefits of IMA is the new scope for the coastal farmers of Bangladesh which is spreading day by day.

Mangrove restoration initiatives become successful when monitoring and guarding of the plantation done regularly. BEDS provided training to the local community on monitoring of the plantation site. This monitoring activities ensure the surviveability of the planted mangrove and proper growth of the mangrove. Tree height, leaves number, tree number and appreance of biodiversity is counted for monitoring of the plantation site. BEDS has been working since 2013 for the restoration of mangroves for coastal embankment protection together with the local people.

Mangrove restoration along the river bank side is one of the major initiatives that to protect the coastal community from coastal embankment erosion and increases biodiversity of the adjacent ecosystem. BEDS has been working since 2013 for the restoration of mangroves for coastal embankment protection together with the local people. In the year 2022 BEDS restored almost 46 ha areas by planting more than 250000 mangroves with the assist of local people, BEDS has also fenced every plantation plot with proper fencing to protect the planted mangroves from the grazing of cattle and unwanted human activities. As a result the mangroves get it’s own place to grow in good health. Also, natural regeneration process happened as a result of fencing and regional biodiversity has increased.

Sundarbans is the world’s single largest mangrove forest and very well known for its Eunice biodiversity and ecosystem. The valuable forest is under the threat of global climate change and rapid urbanization. Now it is very crucial time to protect the forest from declining. BEDS has been working since 2013 for the restoration of mangroves by increasing the coverage of the mangroves in the periphery of Sundarbans regions. As a part of the restoration BEDS has been doing awareness raising activities among the local community and doing plantation activities on the riverbank side.
On 21st March BEDS celebrated International Day of Forest 2023 at the bank of Poshur river in Bajua, Dacope. With the participation of 60 school going students BEDS has observed the day by doing a discussion session and mangrove plantation. In the Discussion session students explained the importance of forest in their future life and BEDS team made awareness about the conservation of planted mangrove trees and how to plant mangrove trees. 600 mangrove saplings were planted with the help of students at the river bank side.
One of the students said, this is the first time he joined any program like that and he was very happy to plant 10 mangrove trees in the river bank side. It’s a very amazing event for him because he has never participated any mangrove plantation event before.

Mangroves which are considered as coastal wetlands are facing severe degradation problem. focusing on this issue this year BEDS have celebrated world wetlands day 2023 on 2nd February. the theme for this year was it's time for wetland restoration.
So, BEDS have organized a discussion session with the coastal women group to create awareness among them about conservation of wetlands. The women who normally engaged in household activities get to know about the real situation of their neighboring wetlands Sundarbans. The women group then planted mangrove in the adjacent riverbank side to increase the area of wetlands which is really a tiny initiative but vey impactful act in the local level.
BEDS have been restoring mangroves since 2013 together will the local community. BEDS believe that any conservation initiatives can be successful when the local people will understand the need for conservation and they will take initiative to conserve it
