Restoring the Rajang Delta – Malaysia’s largest and most threatened mangrove ecosystems
In an area of 77,600 hectares, where little blue carbon data is yet available, this project will define the technical, social, and financial viability of blue carbon projects in the Delta. It plans to map how investment can be directed towards strengthening community wellbeing, restoring and protecting endangered habitat, and building long-term ecosystem resilience.
Papua New Guinea community-led analysis and surveillance of mangrove forests
Researchers, local communities and authorities are designing a locally-led monitoring campaign to assess the carbon reduction potential of the existing mangroves, as well as their rate of deterioration. With this knowledge in the hands of local communities, appropriate conservation goals can be implemented to preserve these natural ecosystems from potential impacts from industrial operations.
Mixed-management Marine Protected Areas for restoring coastal ecosystems
a mixed management solution for MPAs, combining fisheries management, protected areas management and sustainable financing of marine protected areas. Local communities and authorities, in collaboration with Konservasi Indonesia, will be fully engaged in the conservation, restoration and monitoring activities, fuelling knowledge transfer and training of the local communities.
