20 years after tsunami, Sri Lanka celebrates big wins in mangrove restoration

Our soil is degrading, droughts increasing and once fertile land turning into desert (www.decadeonrestoration.org ). But there are glimmers of hope:
In 2004, Sri Lanka was hit by a devastating tsunami. Coastal areas with mangrove trees were more protected - so mass planting started. And failed. Watch how the country learned, adapted, and is finding success where land meets the ocean.
Natural Mangrove Regeneration in Sri Lanka has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
These initiatives represent Earth’s frontiers of hope. Watch the RESTORE documentary series to learn about winning solutions. Explore how you can join #GenerationRestoration

What a wonderful project and pleasing to hear the success and positive outcome for the environment and the people living in the area. We are so used to being bombarded by doom and gloom every single day. These stories should be highlighted and celebrated by all.
