THE REGION AND THE COMMUNITIES<\/h2><\/div>

For generations, the people of the Casamance and Sin\u00e9-Saloum regions in Senegal have <\/span>relied on fishing and shellfish gathering to sustain their way of life<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The area is an essential source of livelihood for the local communities<\/strong>. Mangroves play a crucial role in the region’s unique ecosystem<\/strong>, supporting and providing habitat to a diverse and rich range of wildlife.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE PROJECT<\/h2><\/div>

ABC (ALLCOT Blue Carbon) Mangrove Restoration project endorses the conservation of an exceptional and distinct habitat in Senegal<\/h2><\/div>

The Sine-Saloum and Casamance Delta’s singular ecosystem is greatly endangered by deforestation<\/b>, thus impacting the communities’ way of life<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Together with the local communities, the project actively reforests and conserves the mangrove in the region<\/b>, while building capacities within the individuals<\/b> in order to ensure a solid foundation for their livelihoods.<\/p>\n

The project has a 30 year scope<\/b> and aims to provide, through carbon credits, a financial tool for investing in sustainable development<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

By contributing to <\/span>climate change mitigation and adaptation<\/b><\/span>, the project ensures the preservation of the mangrove ecosystem while <\/span>benefiting the local communities<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

THE ORIGIN, A TRUE STORY<\/h1><\/div>

It’s time we give back<\/h1><\/div>

Almost fifteen years ago, Tobor village, located near the Casamance river, began to experience a food supply shortcut<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In a meeting with the village leaders, Arthur Coly<\/b>, a village elder, exposed that mangrove deforestation was directly affecting food sources.<\/p>\n

Together with three committed young men, Albert Seydi, Moustapha San\u00e9, and Joseph Thiago, Arthur Coly started planting mangrove seeds in deforested areas.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
