Community participation for mangrove restoration

By M. Sabrin Ahmed Roty | Project Leader

Local people are planting mangroves by themselves

Mangroves save the coastal life from several disaster 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 2,70,000 mangroves in the Sundarbans coastal region.

BEDS has been motivating the local community adjacent to Sundarbans for a long time. BEDS has been trying to create another livelihood scope for the coastal people. Now the local people are planting mangroves by themselves. The farmers of Paschim Dhangmari village (under Dacope sub district of Khulna district) have planted in their aquaculture farms by themselves and taking care of the planted mangroves.

One of them expressed his feeling, “I am planting mangroves in my aquaculture farm with my family members. I have planted mangroves in the dyke and also other places of the farm. In future, the plants will protect the dyke of the farms. I will be able to get fruits from the mangrove plants. The fishes of the farm will have the mangrove leave litter and the quality of the fishes will be improved. We will be able to get more profit from the planted mangroves.”

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;
