About

planting 1,000,000 mangroves per year

the Niger Delta on the Altlantic Ocean coast in Nigeria is Africa's largest wetland. it is home to more than 20 million people and has one of the highest concentrations of biodiversity on our planet. but the abundance of life in this ecosystem has degraded over the past decades. the symbiosis of fauna and flora has been interrupted by illegal logging activities, which harm the ecosystem and put local livelihoods at risk.

today, the increased awareness of the Delta's value for the people and the planet has led to initiatives aiming at the full restoration of the mangroves. everi supports and manages this project to reforestate degraded areas, build up knowledge and create livelihood alternatives in the local communities by aiming to plant 1,000,000 red mangroves every year in partnership with local organisations. during the process of photosythesis, our blue carbon project will reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by storing it in the coastal and marine ecosystem of the project region. mangroves forest are thus amongst the most effective means to sequester CO2 levels and store it naturally.

this project is currently open for investors.

impact

built for the long term -with local expertise and for local communities

by planting 1,000,000 new red mangroves every year, this project helps rebuilding natural habitats such as fish nursing grounds. at the same time it offers natural protection to coastal communities by reducing the devastating impacts of extreme whether events such as storms or floods.
to further raise awareness and increase the sustainable impact of the program to local communities, social and environmental education programs are an integral element and a key success factor. additional capacitation programs for local small holders, such as bee farming, create alternative income opportunities which allows for income generation while reducing the pressure on coastal habitats.
