About Project
At C2R Dharma Mangrove Forest, we’re dedicated to preserving the Sundarban, one of the world’s most precious ecosystems. As a part of Go Dharmic’s ongoing mission since 2019, we focus on strategic mangrove plantation projects to safeguard this ecological gem. Our goal is ambitious: to plant over 2 million mangroves, fortifying the Sundarban against the impacts of climate change.
But we’re not just planting trees; we’re restoring a vibrant ecosystem, sequestering carbon, reducing pollution, and protecting biodiversity. Our work isn’t just environmental; it’s about supporting communities, creating sustainable livelihoods, and raising awareness. We’re dedicated to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring a better, greener future for the Sundarban and its people.
Challenges & Solutions
Our mission to preserve the Sundarban faces multifaceted challenges stemming from escalating environmental vulnerabilities, including the heightened frequency of cyclones and rising sea levels due to climate change. The delicate balance between economic stability and ecological preservation adds complexity to our endeavors.
To surmount these challenges, we’ve devised holistic strategies. Firstly, we focus on community resilience, empowering local populations to effectively combat and adapt to environmental adversities. Secondly, our strategic plantation efforts involve meticulous mangrove planting plans in vulnerable regions, strengthening the natural defense of the Sundarban. Lastly, our commitment extends to education and awareness initiatives, equipping communities with the knowledge and tools necessary for sustainable living and resource management.
Through these solutions, we’re unwavering in our dedication to safeguarding the Sundarban, ensuring its resilience against environmental pressures while simultaneously fostering the livelihoods of its inhabitants.
