Our mission
Following the tsunami, Sri Lanka led a mass-drive to plant mangroves. However, noticing that only approximately three per cent of the planted saplings survived, the country changed tactics: from planting mangroves to nurturing them.
By creating the right conditions for mangroves to thrive, the plants started regenerating naturally.
