Mangrove Conservation & Restoration in Bangladesh

Sundarbans the coastal shield for Bangladesh is now in degrading state. And also due to climate changethe rate of natural calamities is increased. so, mangroves restoration can save the coastal life ster and provide livelihood support to the coastal community.

BEDS (Bangladesh Environment and Development Society) has been working for restoring mangroves since 2013. Till now BEDS has planted more than 2,70,000 mangroves in the Sundarbans coastal region.BEDS has been motivating the local community adjacent to Sundarbans for a long time. BEDS also motivating coastal fish farmers to plant mangrove in their fish farm.

Now the local people are planting mangroves by themselves. The farmers of Paschim Dhangmari village (under Dacope sub district of Khulna district) have started to plant in their aquaculture farms by themselves to protect their farm from being flashed away by coastal surge. They are encouraging other fish farmers to add on this activity. It will make a way for them to one step forward towards mangrove restoration.

We would like to thank all our donors for their contribution and faith for us. We are also requesting our donors to start monthly recurring donations. For recurring donation please find the link below;

BEDS is a leading non-government organization for conserving mangrove ecosystem. The organization becomes the pioneer regarding community-based mangrove restoration. As of now, BEDS has restored over 270,000 mangroves in the Sundarbans region together with local people. Currently BEDS is planning to plant 25,000 mangroves in the Sundarbans coastal region.

BEDS has been assisting local villagers of Mathurapur village under Shyamnagar sub district of Satkhira district to establish mangrove nurseries for their extra earning and nature conservation. They have established one mangrove nurseries. These peoples are also taking care of their saplings in this dry season with regular monitoring. They are inspiring other local peoples to involve in mangrove sapling raising. Also, they are fulfilling the local demand of mangrove saplings in that region but it is very small in amount. We believe that we would be able to create a mangrove buffer zone by restoring 25,000 mangroves at Mathurapur village.

So, we are requesting all our donors to stay with BEDS for the betterment of nature and ecosystem and start monthly recurring donation by clicking the following link below;
