Mangroves act as a savior not only for the coastal people but also people all over the world. BEDS (Bangladesh Environment and Development Society) has been working for restoring mangroves since 2013. Till now BEDS has planted 2,50,000 mangroves in the coastal region of Bangladesh.
BEDS has been planted mangroves for long time. When BEDS started planting mangroves, BEDS faced lots of challenges, plant mortality rate was almost 80%. After that BEDS has started planting mangrove saplings which are raised in mangrove nurseries in poly bag. Root system of the mangrove nursery saplings become protected and their survivability rate is much higher. BEDS use stalking for the planted mangroves to protect the mangroves from higher wind. BEDS also fence the mangrove plantation area. BEDS engaged local community in each steps of mangrove plantation, protection and monitroing and now they are getting benefit from the mangroves. Now the mortality rate is 10%. Local community is taking care of the mangroves by themselves for their benefit.
