Since 1998, we have restored thousands of hectares of mangrove areas, particularly in 5 countries affected by the 2004 tsunami (India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia). Other restoration projects have taken place in India near Chennai, in Indonesia (Sumatra and Java) and in Guinea Bissau and Sierra Leone.
In Indonesia we demonstrated how shrimp and fish can be farmed efficiently and sustainably within restored mangrove belts instead of clearing these forests.
