This project led by Istituto Oikos aims to contribute to the conservation of mangroves and biodiversity in the Mecufi and Metuge coastal areas of the Cabo Delgado (Mozambique). Local institutions and communities will receive trainings and guidelines on participatory and sustainable mangrove management, before implementing pilot actions of mangrove restoration. In parallel, adaptive livelihood activities such as aquaculture and beekeeping will be promoted and a community awareness campaign involving the population and school students will supplement the mangrove conservation programme.
