THE REGION AND THE COMMUNITIES
For generations, the people of the Casamance and Siné-Saloum regions in Senegal have relied on fishing and shellfish gathering to sustain their way of life
The area is an essential source of livelihood for the local communities. Mangroves play a crucial role in the region’s unique ecosystem, supporting and providing habitat to a diverse and rich range of wildlife.
Together with the local communities, the project actively reforests and conserves the mangrove in the region, while building capacities within the individuals in order to ensure a solid foundation for their livelihoods.
The project has a 30 year scope and aims to provide, through carbon credits, a financial tool for investing in sustainable development.
By contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, the project ensures the preservation of the mangrove ecosystem while benefiting the local communities.

THE ORIGIN, A TRUE STORY
It’s time we give back
Almost fifteen years ago, Tobor village, located near the Casamance river, began to experience a food supply shortcut.
In a meeting with the village leaders, Arthur Coly, a village elder, exposed that mangrove deforestation was directly affecting food sources.
Together with three committed young men, Albert Seydi, Moustapha Sané, and Joseph Thiago, Arthur Coly started planting mangrove seeds in deforested areas.
