Planète Urgence is a dynamic global organization dedicated to environmental conservation and community development, with a notable presence in Indonesia. Our work spans various critical areas, including the preservation of mangroves and coastal trees, fostering sustainable aquaculture practices, and enhancing the economic well-being of local communities.

The project is specifically tailored to combat the ecological harm caused by shrimp farming and deforestation in the fragile ecosystems of Borneo's Mahakam Delta and Adang Bay. This multifaceted initiative includes essential components such as environmental education, the establishment of community mangrove nurseries, and the provision of training in sustainable aquaculture practices. Through these concerted efforts, Planète Urgence aims to not only mitigate the environmental damage but also empower the local communities to adopt more sustainable livelihood practices.

Indonesia has remarkable biodiversity and could play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change, particularly through the restoration of degraded mangrove ecosystems. However, estimates indicate that without interventions, as much as 600,000 hectares of mangroves could be lost to shrimp farming by 2035. Planète Urgence's way to approach the issue is not only reactive but also proactive, addressing the root causes of deforestation while offering sustainable alternatives that simultaneously benefit the ecosystem and the local economy.

Moreover, the project's emphasis on education and capacity building is a key factor in ensuring its long-term impact. By empowering local communities with knowledge and skills, it establishes a foundation for sustainable practices and fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment.
