Community Mangrove Rehabilitation
1999 CE • Kenya
"Through its grassroots community work in Tsunza Bay, Kenya, the Tsunza Conservation and Development Programme (TCDP) is working to restore degraded mangroves and promote sustainable management and utilization of these resources as a means of ensuring future livelihood activities. The initiative is comprised of three distinct components: the rehabilitation of degraded mangrove forest areas, the raising of villagers’ awareness through training and information dissemination, and community-based, long-term management achieved through various capacity building efforts."
