Mangrove restoration to strengthen coastal adaptation in the Gulf of Fonseca, Honduras

Faced with rising sea levels and coastal erosion in the Gulf of Fonseca, the Red de Jóvenes en Acción por el Clima (REDJAC), a youth organization from San Lorenzo, participated together with CODDEFFAGOLF in the project “Youth for the Gulf: Our Home, Nuestro Futuro”, with support from Little Guardians Foundation (Colombia). They planted 1,000 mangrove propagules, an ecosystem that protects the coast against storms and tides, and held environmental education workshops in coastal and island communities.

Adaptive management of Amazonian mangroves by extractive youth in the face of rising sea levels on the coast of Pará

Rede Cuíra is a collective of 13 youth groups, with around 60 black and indigenous young people from 14 Extractive Reserves and 1 Environmental Protection Area on the coast of Pará, which organizes extractive youth in the defense and traditional management of Amazonian mangroves against the advance of the sea and coastal erosion. Through the project "Voltando às minhas raízes" (Fundo Brasil), it has already trained 40 young leaders and reached 584 people directly and 1,168 indirectly in 21 communities.

Youth participation
The network operates horizontally between the 13 youth groups: young people from different Resex meet at the Mangrove Youth Conferences to exchange experiences and build the network's action plan together, instead of receiving it ready-made from outside. Each Resex maintains its own local young leadership, such as Erivelton Nascimento Chaves (Soure) and Gê Monteiro (Mestre Lucindo).
