For decades, Sri Lanka’s mangroves disappeared, leaving communities exposed to disasters like the 2004 tsunami. Now, by growing instead of just planting, Sri Lanka has restored 500ha, aiming for 10,000 by 2030. See their #GenerationRestoration journey: youtube.com/watch?v=v2Zn9M

Mangroves are great champions for carbon sequestration and biodiversity, but they also provide tourism and recreation benefits, as evidenced in a visit today to Jakarta’s inner city Angke Kapuk mangrove nature park.

Speaking at #IISF in Jakarta today on the subject of capitalizing on the Sustainable Blue Economy, emphasis was placed on staying true to SDG14. We must ever strive to achieve balance between conservation & sustainable use, and in the process make peace with Nature.

Productive talks in Jakarta yesterday with Boon Heong Ng, CEO Temasek Foundation, on opportunities to elevate Blue Carbon awareness & investment. On the back of SE Asia’s massive #mangrove & seagrass assets, Blue Carbon is integral to development of the Sustainable Blue Economy.
