Forum Peduli Mangrove Bali

Forum Peduli Mangrove Bali is a community-driven organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Bali’s mangrove forests. These mangroves, found mainly along the island’s coastlines and estuaries, serve as critical habitats for marine and terrestrial species, help prevent coastal erosion, and act as natural carbon sinks that mitigate climate change. However, rapid coastal development, pollution, and deforestation have significantly reduced Bali’s mangrove coverage, leading to habitat loss and increased vulnerability to natural disasters.

​

To address these challenges, Forum Peduli Mangrove Bali engages in mangrove reforestation efforts, planting thousands of mangrove seedlings each year to restore degraded areas. The organization also conducts educational programs in local schools and communities to raise awareness about the importance of mangrove ecosystems. By involving local residents in conservation activities, they promote a sense of ownership and long-term commitment to protecting Bali’s coastal environment.

​

In addition to restoration and education, the forum advocates for stronger environmental policies and works with local governments to enforce regulations that protect mangrove forests. They collaborate with researchers and conservationists to monitor the health of mangrove ecosystems and develop sustainable solutions that balance environmental protection with economic needs.

​

Through hands-on conservation, education, and advocacy, Forum Peduli Mangrove Bali is playing a vital role in ensuring the future of Bali’s coastal ecosystems. By restoring mangroves, they are not only preserving biodiversity but also enhancing the resilience of coastal communities against climate change and natural disasters.
