This is the time for act locally so we are not wasting our time to take action at the grass-roots level. The local people are standing for protecting themselves from the natural disaster by planting and regenerating the mangrove. So, far we have planted more than 0.51 million mangroves covering 84 ha of coastal land. The biodiversity of the area has been also increasing, like the appearance of bees, birds, monitor lizard, crocodile and etc. Our trained shrimp farmers on IMA (Integrated Mangrove Aquaculture) have stopped to cut the existing mangroves and replanted mangroves in their farms. A total of 7 mangrove nurseries (6 nurseries in Dacope and 1 nursery in Shyamnagar) have been established by the coastal women of the Sundarbans and they have become self-employed to contribute to their family ensuring sustainable livelihoods in response to global climate change.
