ReDAW is restoring degraded coastal wetlands in a biodiversity hotspot protected under the global Ramsar Wetlands Treaty. Planting native mangroves supports local community members, protects Red List endangered species, and sequesters carbon at three to five times the rate of terrestrial forests.
Co-benefits include the revitalization of community fisheries, improved water quality and flood control, and agroforestry, aquaculture, and apiculture opportunities.
