Guided by Peace Parks and its partners in Mozambique, local communities are participating in critical mangrove restoration work in a context that isn't always breezy from a security risk perspective. I feel honoured to be the new @blueactionfund.org focal point for E&S Safeguards for this project.
The spectacular Maputo National Park in southern Mozambique is one of the most biologically diverse and endangered ecoregions on Earth. Its unique ecosystems, however, face the challenge of climate change and ocean shifts, calling for adaptive solutions. To strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change and extreme weather events, Mozambique’s National Association for Conservation Areas and local communities are reforesting valuable mangrove forests. Mangrove forests offer a bioshield against storm surges and protect against coastal erosion. They shelter diverse aquatic species and important fish stocks, as well as providing fuelwood and medicinal resources for local communities. By supporting initiatives like these, Peace Parks Foundation and Eden Reforestation, through the generous Blue Action Fund, are assisting crucial environmental protection programmes and securing sustainable livelihoods in coastal communities. Visit parquemaputo.gov.mz to find out more about Maputo National Park, and be inspired by the positive impact of the Blue Action Fund by visiting peaceparks.org. ______________ Follow our journey on social media: - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peaceparkstvsocial/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peaceparks.tv/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peace-parks-tv/ - Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@peaceparks.tv
