Sustainable Development Goals
Summary
WeForest is working with Oceanium, the most experienced mangrove restoration NGO in Senegal. Our goal in Casamance is to replant mangroves over 2245 hectares at a density of 5000 trees per hectare and re-establish sustainable and profitable mangrove-friendly fishing and farming activities for local communities. Our project here is expected to form part of the largest carbon-certified mangrove project in the world, together with a similar project in the more northerly Sine Saloum delta.
