Parcel for Nature

Your one action today can have a tremendous impact on nature now and in the future.

Give Your Parcel for Nature

Now close your eyes and think!

What do we choose for the future of our children and grandchildren: a sustainable coastal area or one threatened by abrasion? Will we leave a legacy of dirty air and unpredictable climate? Will we let the home of various animals, such as reptiles, long-tailed monkeys, and bulwark storks, disappear?

That's what happens when mangrove forests are destroyed! However, we still have a chance to make things right.

Why do we need to protect the mangrove forest?

Indonesia has the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, with an area of 3.51 million hectares (KLHK, 2020). This area is 20% of the world's total mangrove habitat for terrestrial and aquatic biodata.

  • Mangrove forests store 3-5 times more carbon than inland tropical forests.

  • More than 75% of economically valuable tropical fish species spend part of their lives in mangrove forests.

  • Mangrove forests managed effectively and sustainably can be a source of income and provide protection and food for communities.
