On 12th February 2022, The Climate and Ecology Network JEDI will be planting mangroves in Sungai Tembus, at the northern end of Seberang Perai. We are doing this in collaboration with the fishermen of Sungai Tembus (Unit Nelayan Sungai Tembus) who will benefit from shore protection, enriched fisheries, and mangrove resources such as crabs and mangrove fruits.
The fishermen will look after the young tree for 12 months. In some instances, the mangroves will be planted some distance offshore so the fishermen have to go out in a boat.
We are recruiting volunteers, who will do the planting together with the fishermen. Youth volunteers will get a lesson in ecology and gain an unforgettable experience which deepens their commitment to nature protection.
By adopting a mangrove tree, you will be contributing to fisherfolks' livelihood, enhancing fishery resources, increasing biodiversity, restoring carbon sequestration, and improving coastal protection and regeneration.
With a small donation, you can adopt a tree for yourself, your family, your friends or even to mark a birthday or any special occasion. Give back to the earth. Adopt a mangrove tree today!
