Reforestation of Aceh
Following
the Tsunami in 2004, huge areas of rainforest and
agricultural land were destroyed. Working with
local organisations, our projects will have a significant
impact on the local people, whilst offsetting your
CO2.
The Indonesian government has launched a massive four-year operation to plant
mangrove trees along the coastline of tsunami-devastated Aceh province.
Forestry Minister Malam Sambat Kaban was quoted by the state Antara news
agency as saying that the tsunami destroyed more than 350,000 hectares of
mangrove forest in the province.
Speaking to the press after launching a mangrove reforestation project in Lam
Nga village, Aceh Besar district, Kaban said the government planned to plant a
total of 150,000 hectares of mangroves along the coast.
The minister said he hoped it would encourage local communities to put
similar projects into action.
