    The project aim is to increase carbon sequestration and contribute to local sustainable development by planting mangroves on the degraded mangrove habitats. The purpose of the project is to restore the degraded local mangrove ecosystem and increase forest cover by planting a variety of species of native mangrove, and establish a healthy local ecological and economic system by involving local residents into the projects implementation directly. The implementation of the afforestation project will generate GHG emission removals and improve the local environment, enhance the capabilities of local communities and residents by providing them with relevant technical skills and training.
