Project Overview

SEED’s Community-Led Mangrove Revival project focuses on restoring critical mangrove ecosystems in Jharkhali Island, a frontline region of the Sundarbans highly exposed to sea-level rise, cyclone impacts and riverbank erosion. With geneous support from Tiger Widows, Ireland, this initiative mobilizes local women’s groups, especially widows of tiger-attack victims and other vulnerable families, to lead mangrove plantation, nursery development and community-based conservation efforts — while integrating alternative livelihoods to build household resilience.
