SPONSOR A BABY MANGROVE PLANT

THE MANGROVE FOREST URGENTLY NEEDS OUR HELP


AN EXCITING OPPURTUNITY

Replanting Mangrove seeds and seedlings

Restoration efforts are the key to recovering healthy bio-diversity in the mangrove fores that was devasted by the tsunami 2004 on the west coast of Phra Thong island.

Adopt and Plant a “Baby Mangrove” is a new initiative developed by Naucrates.
Restoration areas has been established in the tidal creek where Naucrates is conducting a restoration Progmme since 2002.
The project aims to restore the area planting as many “Baby Mangrove” (propagules) as possible, which will be trees of a mangrove forest in the future.

Claudio believs it will take 100 years

WHAT WE DO


Trusting in the natural process of secondary succession (organisms that re-colonize an area where the natural community has been strongly disturbed), we decided to start a restoration programme with the aim to help the “long and slow” natural re-growth.

The main aim is to replant the species that were there previous to the natural disaster and in addition some species with remarkable pioneer characteristics able to (it is an hypothesis) to  bear the mutated environmental conditions.
