CIFOR-ICRAF and partners, Sriwijaya University and the South Sumatra Watershed Forum (Forum DAS Sumsel) are conducting participatory action research (PAR) to develop locally accepted and sustainable business models in the Sungsang area of Banyuasin District, South Sumatra Province. This PAR will eventually allow communities to generate sustainable incomes from mangrove restoration; strengthen local policies for mangrove restoration; and contribute to national and global mangrove restoration agendas. The project, which runs from 2021 to 2025 in collaboration with the Banyuasin District Government, is supported by Temasek Foundation (TF), Singapore. As per June 2024, there are six action arenas in three villages and a community-based mangrove nursery.
