Advocates for Community Alternatives (ACA) has successfully supported the second community-led mangrove planting in Niafrang, Senegal, as part of its ongoing efforts to promote environmental restoration and climate resilience across West Africa.
This year’s exercise brought together residents, traditional leaders, and youth groups from Niafrang and neighboring communities such as Kabadio and Abéné, who joined hands to plant hundreds of mangrove seedlings along the Niafrang shoreline.
The activity forms part of ACA’s broader initiative to restore degraded coastal ecosystems, enhance fisheries, and strengthen natural protection against coastal erosion and flooding caused by climate change.
“Community-led restoration lies at the heart of ACA’s mission,” said Dr. Kwabina Ibrahim, ACA’s Science Lead. “By engaging youth from neighboring communities, we are helping to build a stronger, united front for environmental stewardship across the Casamance coastline.”
This second mangrove planting builds on the success of previous efforts and reaffirms the community’s commitment to sustainable environmental management. The project reflects ACA’s ongoing collaboration with local partners to advance community-driven conservation and sustainable development in the region.
Together, we grow a greener and more resilient Niafrang, Senegal.
