This women-led mangrove restoration initiative in the Indian Sundarban aims to restore 15 hectares of degraded coastal land by planting 100,000 mangrove and associate species. The project empowers local women and communities through training, nursery development, and hands-on restoration, while enhancing biodiversity, increasing carbon stock, and improving climate resilience. Supported by local governance and driven by community monitoring using digital tools, the initiative builds long-term ecological and social sustainability in one of India’s most vulnerable coastal regions.
