OMG volunteers in West Sumatra promote planting mangroves on Penyu Beach to protect the coast, prevent erosion, reduce global warming, and raise environmental awareness in Pariaman. Positive community response anticipates firsthand impact.

Mangrove forests, such as Rú Chá in Thừa Thiên Huế Province, are playing a crucial role in protecting the environment and communities from the impacts of disaster and climate change. These forests are not only valuable resources for local communities, but they also contribute to blue carbon ecosyste

Coastal communities face heightened cyclone risk due to declining protective natural ecosystems. Cyclone Idai in 2019 caused significant damage and loss of life. Future storms may be stronger, but the relationship between communities and ecosystems is not fully understood. ETH Zurich researchers found 67 million people are currently at risk, with China having the most. By 2050, the number at risk may increase by 40% to nearly 94 million. Coastal habitats like mangroves and reefs provide protection but are being destroyed, leaving more vulnerable. Preserving existing habitats and restoring lost ones are vital for better cyclone protection. The study highlights key regions for protection and restoration initiatives.
