Inter-municipal approach for the safeguard and enhancement of the Mangrove by the Local Authorities

地方政府跨市红树林养护项目

The Departmental Council of Saint Louis in Senegal developed an innovative approach to environmental governance, which integrated the restoration of mangroves ecosystems across three municipalities with strategies for addressing urgent urban climate challenges and enhancing livelihoods through the promotion of resilient and structured economic activities around mangroves. The initiative's objective was to restore the mangroves of Saint-Louis of Senegal (1000 ha.), which are threatened with extinction due to climatic and anthropogenic pressures.

由于气候和人为压力,塞内加尔圣路易斯省的1000公顷红树林濒临灭绝。为了修复这片红树林,塞内加尔圣路易斯省议会提出了一种创新的环境治理方法。该方法通过围绕红树林的结构化和具有韧性的经济活动,将横跨三个城市的红树林生态系统修复工程与应对紧迫的城市气候挑战、改善当地人民生计的战略相结合。

Over nine years of intervention, more than 50 hectares of mangrove have been regenerated, equivalent to a sequestration rate of 350 tons of carbon annually. The mangrove growth rate has risen to 7% per year, and the clearance rate is down by 25%. Nearly 80,000 people from over 50 organizations were involved in the initiative, representing local authorities, academics, and environmental experts.

经过过去9年的干预,50多公顷的红树林得以恢复,相当于每年封存二氧化碳350吨。如今,红树林的增长率已达到每年7%,砍伐率下降了25%。50多个组织近80,000人参与了该项目,包括致力于支持当地私营部门、民间组织和社区组织的地方当局、学者和环境专家。

The initiative offers Alternative fuel sources in the form of biogas to households previously dependent on mangroves for firewood. Also, an effective community awareness program was also launched, such as inter-generational dialogues in schools -- inviting elders to tell historical stories about the times when mangroves were abundant to encourage young people to contribute to its regeneration actively.

该项目向之前依赖红树林获取柴火的家庭提供生物燃气作为替代燃料,并启动了有效的社区意识计划,包括在学校中进行代际对话,邀请长者讲述有关红树林繁茂时期的历史故事,鼓励年轻人积极为恢复红树林做出贡献。
