About this Project
The Problem
In Pakistan, 34% of mangrove forests were lost between 1990 and 2010, leading to floods, land erosion, and significantly lower sequestration of atmospheric carbon. Mangroves wetland serve as a carbon sink, stabilize coastal regions, and have a wealth of biodiversity, including large numbers of migratory shorebirds. They are also home to thousands of people who rely on the trading of shellfish and crab for their living.
The Solution
This 60-years project is implemented over an area of 350,000 ha. It will deliver GHG removals through afforestation, reforestation and revegetation of 226,000 ha of degraded tidal wetlands.
