Women-Led Mangrove Restoration in the Coral Triangle Strengthens Marine Protection Across the Lesser Sunda Seascape
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Mama Martha and twelve women from Kelompok Cinta Persahabatan are restoring mangroves on Alor Island in eastern Indonesia as part of the IUCN-supported SOMACORE program, which strengthens marine conservation governance across six nations in the Coral Triangle—the global center of marine biodiversity supporting over 1,700 reef fish species, five of seven marine turtle species, and more than 460 reef-building coral species.
The mangrove restoration is ongoing; long-term ecosystem recovery and erosion protection will depend on sustained community effort and governance support across the region.
