Solution
Yaf Keru is an ambitious local development program, in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, around the protection and restoration of 3 to 5 ha of coral reefs by the end of 2025. The rehabilitation of 1 ha of coral reefs damaged by dynamite fishing should restore numerous fishing resources in the first year of the project.
The project should enable "coral gardeners" to take hold of the socio-economic value of coral reefs and the undeniable link between the health of the reefs and their communities by providing them with competitive wages.
News
The money will be used for
- Rehabilitate an additional 3 ha of coral reefs.
- Restore fishing resources linked to the reefs.
- Continue to train coral gardeners, divers.
- Enable the local population (through "coral gardeners") to become actors in their own right in the rehabilitation of these ecosystems.
Thanks to you 👏
