Mangrove restoration and conservation is now one of the major activities that has been taken for the protection of coastal region of Bangladesh. BEDS also working with mangrove to increase the coverage of mangrove in the coastal region for the embankment protection. During the restoration activities the demand of mangrove saplings raised where the coastal people are destroying that mangrove seed and saplings for their daily wages.
BEDS introduced the idea of raising mangrove saplings to fulfill the demand of the saplings as well as create an alternative livelihood opportunity for the coastal Women. With support of BEDS 7 community-based mangrove nursery have been established. Women who used to collect the mangrove seed as cooking fuel are now collecting the seeds for saplings production. Different kind mangrove species saplings are now raised by then. This nature base solution has created alternative livelihood for the women and took participation in mangrove ecosystem conservation.
