Coastal Kenya & Tanzania are highly underdeveloped. These communities depend on their mangrove ecosystems for employment, livelihood, and nutrition. In recent decades, these coastal areas have been urbanized at unprecedented rates and mangrove forests converted into other land use. Coupled with lack of effective governance, mangroves have been overexploited and overharvested. In restoring these ies, which are rich in biodiversity, we are reviving fishing grounds that help to create additional income streams.

The Lungs of the Earth
Trees are the lungs of the earth. Without trees on earth, human beings would not survive but without human beings, trees would still survive on earth abundantly.
Decent Wages for Decent Lives
Providing forest adjacent communities in Africa decent wages and access to payment for Ecosystem Services is not a favour but a decent ask.
