NGOs like SEEDS are working in the Sundarbans to develop resilience to climate change impacts by planting mangrove saplings along degraded coastlines, integrating the initiative into the local community for long-term sustainability. Women's self-help groups are being enlisted to plant mangroves, turning them into protectors and contributing to the local economy. Dr. Krishna Ray's successful restoration project highlights the importance of community involvement and sustainable funding for long-term mangrove restoration. Local villagers are using mangrove restoration as a way to combat climate change impacts, earning income while contributing to ecological restoration and protection against cyclones and rising sea levels. This approach demonstrates the importance of linking the local economy to climate solutions in vulnerable regions.
