The mangrove forests are vital for the ecosystem of the community because they serve as excellent barriers against waves, winds and monsoons. Mangrove forests are the green system that best reduces global warming and carbon. They can absorb as much as 5-10 times of carbon, compared with land forests. The community sees the importance of the mangrove forests so they continue caring and restoring them.
Because the Ban Tha Din Daeng community was one of the communities impacted by the tsunami, a mangrove forest care team was established. World Vision Thailand was part of the reforestation promotion and came to support re-growing the mangrove trees that had been destroyed by the tsunami. After that, the whole community came together to take on the responsibility. The projects supported by World Vision Thailand also included livelihood promotion, e.g. rubber tapping, so local people affected by the incident could have stable farming occupations.
World Vision joined forces with the community people in Ban Tha Din Daeng. The community received tsunami restoration support during 2005-2006. They came to collect the husks of the mangroves with community members to regrow the forest lines that were swept away by the tsunami.
World Vision supported restoration of the environment through mangrove reforestation along with the necessary knowledge. Through collaboration that began 20 years ago, whereby the community collected as many as around 30 thousand husks, which were then planted with the help of World Vision, today, the whole community sees the resulting condition of the forests as a great source of pride.
Currently, World Vision leads the community youth in the reforestation initiative, learning about mangrove forests and local fishery. The community is excited that children and youth are involved as they will lead environment conservation in the future.
Re-grow the Mangrove 20 Years after the Indian Ocean Tsunami
The Ban Tha Din Daeng Hydroponic Vegetable Community Enterprise grows hydroponic vegetables for a living that include general soil-based plants, like cucumbers, long beans and watermelons. This hydroponic vegetable growing group started after the tsunami disaster. Ban Tha Din Daeng Community covers an area of about 1.9 acres that is surrounded by mangrove forests.The mangrove forests are vital for the ecosystem of the community because they serve as excellent barriers against waves, winds and monsoons.
