Mangroves. The Roots of the Sea
Description
There aren't too many happy stories when it comes to restoring damaged ecosystems, but southern Thailand's Trang Province is home to one of them. This science bulletin spotlights an innovative grassroots organization called Yad Fon. Founded in 1984, Yad Fon set out to restore the healthy mangrove ecosystems that had sustained the region's families for thousands of years - and to pull it off by getting the villagers to manage their own natural resources.
