Unlocking the Potential of Hovercrafts on the Mamberamo River, Papua The Mamberamo River, known as the "Amazon of Papua," is a vital artery for remote communities in Indonesia. However, its rugged terrain and limited infrastructure make transportation a challenge. Hovercrafts could revolutionize mobility in this region, offering a versatile solution to navigate both water and land. From delivering essential goods and connecting isolated villages to supporting disaster relief efforts and promoting eco-tourism, the possibilities are immense. Could hovercrafts be the key to unlocking better connectivity and sustainable development for Papua? Let’s discuss innovative solutions for remote and challenging terrains.

The Sungsang Mangrove Restoration and Ecotourism (SMART) project has successfully planted over 15 hectares of mangroves—equivalent to 21 football fields. Launched three years ago, this project, a collaboration between Temasek Foundation, CIFOR-ICRAF, Universitas Sriwijaya, and the South Sumatra Watershed Forum empowers local communities by supporting mangrove nursery enterprises. Locals collect and sell seedlings, contributing to the restoration of Indonesia’s vast mangrove forests. Learn more about the project in this video by CNA. #MangrovesMatter #Trees4Resilience #SMART

Sustainability has always been a cornerstone of Reckitt’s mission. What we contribute to society today will shape a better, more conscious future for all. Neutralising water usage with innovative products/appliances, like Dishwasher with Finish Tabs, do use limited water as compared to old school handwashing, thereby utilising it in deprived areas is a crucial step towards greater impact.

Indonesia is home to the world's largest mangrove area, accounting for about one-fifth of the global total. Sumatra, the second-largest Indonesian island by mangrove coverage, hosts 892,835 hectares of these vital ecosystems. In South Sumatra, significant mangrove clusters are located in the Sungsang area. However, Sungsang's mangroves face threats primarily from agricultural expansion, a situation exacerbated by poverty among vulnerable coastal communities affected by mangrove depletion. To address these challenges, CIFOR-ICRAF, in partnership with Temasek Foundation, has launched the Sungsang Mangrove Restoration and Ecotourism (#SMART) project. This initiative aims to revitalize Sumatra's precious mangrove forests through community-led efforts. Learn how the project will empower local communities, promote sustainable practices, and protect these crucial coastal habitats. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/dddYxqde #Trees4Resilience

Prioritising mangrove investment is crucial for a sustainable future. Earth Security's Senior Partnership Manager, Heru Prama Yuda discussed this at the Global Future Fellows (GFF) 2024 in Bali, focusing on the theme “Forging a Climate-Economy Equilibrium.” The fellows visited the Batu Lumbang mangrove ecotourism site in Bali, a 1,300-hectare area in Grand Forest Park (Tahura) Ngurah Rai, managed by the Segara Guna collective. With 38 mangrove species, it’s a prime example of how community-driven conservation can provide economic livelihoods while achieving environmental sustainability. As Indonesia strives for a low-carbon economy, initiatives like Batu Lumbang show that sustainable development is not just possible but essential.

As we celebrate the Mazingira Day in Kenya today, it is crucial to underpin the fact that, Sustainability is the key to ensuring a harmonious coexistence between human society, the environment as well as the economy. For Kenya to achieve a greener and more sustainable future, it is important to understand and embrace some principles of sustainability. At the heart of sustainability lies ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, which revolves around preserving and nurturing the health of the planet. This principle entails the responsible use of natural resources, reducing waste and pollution, and conserving biodiversity. SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY is another engine that drives efforts towards building a sustainable future. Social sustainability speaks to efforts focusing on promoting equitable and inclusive communities that cater to the well-being of all individuals. This principle underscores the importance of providing access to basic needs, education, healthcare, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The last principle that completes the sustainability web is ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILIT.  This revolves around cultivating a resilient and flourishing economy that serves both the present and future generations. This principle advocates for responsible resource management, sustainable business practices, and the promotion of circular economies. Ideally, the above sustainability building blocks are interconnected and interdependent. Achieving TRUE sustainability therefore requires a holistic approach that addresses the complex interactions between the environment, society, and the economy. When these principles are aligned, they create a powerful framework for BUILDING A GREENER FUTURE. HAPPY MAZINGIRA DAY!!
