Along the tidal edges of the Sundarbans, we are replanting and protecting the mangrove forests that hold Bangladesh's coastline together. Every seedling locks away carbon, blunts the force of cyclones before they reach villages, and reopens the tangled root nurseries where fish, crabs, and shrimp begin their lives. This is slow, hand-by-hand restoration — and it is already greening the mudflats.

We have crossed 7,800 seedlings planted across roughly 6 hectares of degraded mudflat, with 38 community members now trained in planting and monitoring. At maturity this first cohort is on track to draw down around 42 tonnes of CO₂ each year while buffering the shore from storm surge. Reaching the $5,000 goal would let us scale nurseries toward our 30,000-seedling target before the next monsoon.
Families from the nearest village told us they are again finding juvenile shrimp and small fish sheltering among the restored root tangles — the first signs the nursery function is coming back. For households that depend on the catch, healthier mangroves mean a steadier living. We are now mapping these nursery zones so we can protect them from net damage.
We walked the lower planting line at low tide this week to check the saplings that went in last month. Roughly 8 in 10 are holding firm against the daily wash, their first prop-roots gripping the silt. We staked the weaker seedlings with bamboo and cleared drifting debris that had snagged on the young stems.
