Project Overview

The Sindh Indus Delta is a significant ecological region where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea. This delta, characterised by tidal river channels, islands, and mangrove forests, supports biodiversity, including rare and endemic species. Over decades, deforestation, reduced freshwater inflows, and grazing have led to significant degradation of these ecosystems. The decline has impacted local communities, who depend on mangroves for resources, and has heightened the area’s vulnerability to climate change and coastal erosion.

Solution Description

This project focuses on restoring mangrove forests across approximately 350,000 hectares in the Sindh Indus Delta Region. It also focuses on engaging local communities in planting about 224,997 hectares of mangroves over its lifetime. Community groups participate through Mangrove Stewardship Agreements, fostering responsible livelihoods while protecting and regenerating the ecosystem.

Impact

The project aims to sequester an estimated 2,407,629 tCO2e annually. The restored mangroves contribute to reducing coastal erosion, protecting against storm surges, and supporting biodiversity. Communities benefit from improved livelihoods, training opportunities, and sustainable fishing practices. Gender-inclusive programs help further empower local residents, ensuring that environmental restoration aligns with socio-economic development goals.
