Full Description
The Greenbelt Reports (GBR) is a
multi-media, Asian regional educational project to document the
conservation challenges involving mangroves, coral reefs and sand reefs
- collectively called 'greenbelts' in recognition of their natural
protective role against wave action and anticipated climate change
impact. Our aim is to investigate and report on efforts to balance
conservation needs with socio-economic needs of coastal communities.
Stories will come from coastal areas in South and Southeast Asia.
People Power (Tuntaset village, Trang)
The mangroves and wetlands of Tuntaset were ruined by
charcoal industry and shrimp farming. Invoking an old law that allowed
communities to manage their mangroves, the local people restored the
