About this Project
The Problem
In the Ayeyarwady region of Myanmar, mangroves are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to unsustainable agricultural and industrial practices, compounded by poverty and lack of access to education in local communities.
The Solution
The Myanmar Blue Carbon project aims to restore and protect 2,065.87 hectares of degraded mangroves. Their community-based approach to conservation will include educating and employing locals, supporting schools and families, promoting gender equality, and ensuring continuous maintenance and protection of the mangroves. This will enhance biodiversity, provide new income sources, and increase resilience against extreme weather for the 2,482 households in the project area.
