Mangroves are priceless assets for the environment. It has massive contribution to ecosystem stabilization and livelihood generation. It is of tremendous value in protecting the disaster vulnerable coastal households from natural disasters. Moreover, it prevents riverbank erosion and keeps the embankment safe.
Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) is extremely focused on mangrove restoration and protection and has been conducting community based mangrove plantation and restoration since 2013. Currently, the organization is raising fund from GlobalGiving platform to restore mangroves in the Sundarbans periphery. Target grant of the proposed project is 100,000 $ and so far, 1,592 $ is raised from 109 donations.
Yesterday we planted 200 more mangrove saplings on the bank (slope) of two ponds. Around 20 students and local villagers participated on that plantation activity. We planted Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Heritiera fomes, and Nipa Fruiticans species. We used the saplings of the prepared nursery of the villagers. Participants wore masks during plantation considering COVID-19 situation. The participants assured to take care of the planted mangroves.
We are absolutely thankful to all the donors for being so kind to us. We hope that you all will be continuously standing beside us for the protection of nature and saving the coastal lives.
