We are proud to announce our 2nd mangrove restoration project in Indonesia. This is our first project on mainland Lombok, in Cemare.
The area is heavily polluted with garbage from local households, which impedes mangrove seedlings to settle. Illegal logging and shrimp farming in the past created open areas in the forest. Together with our partner Indonesia Biru (=blue) Foundation, we are setting up a comprehensive waste management system, organize cleanups and awareness events and will reforest parts of the forest, such as an old shrimp farm. Schools will be visited and the children will be involved in out-planting mangrove seedlings we farm.
4-5 fulltime indigenous conservation leaders are hired for this project.
