Once there were plenty of mangroves in the Sundarbans periphery that created a buffer zone which was beneficial for coastal protection as well as for habitat of the wild animals and birds. By the passage of time the mangrove forests have been destroyed for many man made activities. Local community harvests the forest resources and collects the seeds for using as fuel. They did that type of work without knowing the importance of mangroves.
BEDS is trying to aware the coastal communities for planting mangrove by introducing community based mangrove restoration (CBEMR). Now people are concern in mangrove restoration. They come and work together to from a forest. BEDS provide the logistic support like bamboo, net, rope etc. to them. Local communities are now participating in social mapping programme and planting mangroves in their riverside plots. BEDS think that if community is engaged in restoration programme the forest will be survived and from the forest they will be benefited more. New income will be generated and they can improve their livelihood.
