Mangroves play an important role of protecting coasts and creating livelihood opportunity among the people. BEDS (Bangladesh Environment and Development Society) has been working for restoring mangroves since 2013.
Till now BEDS has planted 2,70,000 mangroves in the Sundarbans coastal region. BEDS has established community based 6 mangrove nurseries in the Sundarbans coastal region of Bangladesh. Now the people are earning much money from the mangrove nursery.
One of our beneficiaries said, “I have grown up by the side of Sundarbans. I live very close to Sundarbans. I could not do heavy work and go different places due to my health issue. I used to pass my time leisurely in my home. BEDS motivated me to do a mangrove nursery. I started working in the mangrove nursery. My nursery is by the side of the road. People used to taunt me that I was wasting my time with the plants. It used to hurt me but I continued my work in the nursery to pass my leisure time. Now I am selling the saplings and demand of the mangrove saplings is increasing day by day. The people has understood the result of the mangrove nursery. They also come to me to now the techniques of mangrove nursery. I am getting much money from the nursery and I am very happy.”
