Project Overview
Sumbawa Island is part of the West Nusa Tenggara province and is located approximately 300 km east of Bali. This region is ecologically significant and rich in biodiversity, as it encompasses three major ecosystem types: (1) mangrove forests, (2) dryland forests, and (3) marine ecosystems. In particular, the mangrove forests along the coastline serve as vital habitats for marine life and act as a natural barrier that protects coastal communities from typhoons, tidal waves, and coastal erosion. However, over the past few decades, these mangroves have been severely degraded due to the expansion of aquaculture, illegal land conversion, and logging.
This project aims to establish new mangrove forests and restore and conserve existing ones on Sumbawa Island. Through these efforts, we seek to protect local communities from coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion, while also contributing to climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
The mangrove species to be planted include:
Project Site
Project Impact
The mangrove forests established through this project will serve as habitats for marine life, thereby enhancing biodiversity. In addition, they will act as effective carbon sinks by capturing carbon from the land, sea, and atmosphere.
