Dedicated team BEDS and local community together have been restoring mangrove through regeneration and plantation for increasing the resilience capacity of the coastal communities of Bangladesh. Healthy mangroves are havens for biodiversity and are critical for climate action. They support the livelihoods, food security, and well-being of hundreds of millions of people, are critical for carbon storage, regulate water quality, and protect coasts. Yet 20-35 percent of our mangroves have been degraded or lost over the last 50 years. Urgent collective action is needed to restore damaged or destroyed mangroves around the world. If done properly, restoration can enhance coastal resilience, sustainable livelihoods, fisheries productivity, aquaculture, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Of the 1,100,000 hectares of mangroves that have been lost since 1996, around 818,300 ha of mangroves are considered to have high “restorable” potential, while other areas are considered less easy to restore and may be irretrievably lost to urbanization, erosion, or other causes.
