An estimated 3.14 billion tons of blue carbon is stored in Indonesia’s mangrove forests. Mangrove destruction not only has an impact on increasing greenhouse gas emissions, but also on the resilience and welfare of the coastal communities which rely on them. This project is expected to have an impact on the preservation of mangrove ecosystems and fisheries, support the security of people’s livelihoods in Indragiri Hilir District, and mitigate global carbon emissions.
