About Jaga Mangroves

« Jaga mangroves » means « Protect mangroves » in Bahasa Indonesia. Home to an estimated 20% of the world’s mangroves, Indonesia is facing rapid degradation of its remaining mangrove forest – an estimated 50,000ha are still being destroyed each year.

The Jaga mangroves project supports small-scale fishermen communities restore their coastal ecosystems by planting various mangrove species on a large-scale. Activities also seek to support livelihoods through small agri-businesses created to harvest valuable commodities from the mangroves, ensuring long-term permanence of the project.

Overview

Building upon PUR’s experience of restoring mangroves in Pejarakan, Indonesia since 2016, the Jaga Mangroves project focuses on community-led restoration of mangroves across several Indonesian provinces. In addition to the mangrove planting, community awareness and benefit activities are designed to engage all community members and ensure long-term permanence of the project.

These include:

• Nursery facility improvement

• Sustainable mud-crab culture

• Batik mangrove (dye) local business support

• Ecotourism and improvement of coastal tourism facilities

PUR is exploring potential partnerships to support the implementation, certification, and long-term monitoring of this project. Please get in touch with our specialists if you would like to know more about the Jaga Mangroves project.
