people by respecting indigenious knowledge and culture.

Vision
To promote ecological balance and create harmony between human and nature
Mission
The Mission is to build the capacity of the most vulnerable communities to ensure the sustainable use of nature resources, provide eco-friendly means living, reduce the adverse effects of climate change, and improve their socio-economic condition while maintaining ecological balance.
Solution
Rural reconstruction and ecosystem restoration will be the key solutions for the overall development and conservation of the marginal coastal community and vulnerable environment. This can be achieved by planting and regenerating mangroves; raising awareness in collaboration with local people in terms of biodiversity conservation; coastal protection; promotion of mangrove-based alternative livelihoods, entrepreneurship development; clean solar energy equipment and services; and climate change adaptaion and migration. Addressing the aforementioned issues for social and environmental development would be ensured by establishing multi-stakeholder collaborations and stable finances.
