WEBINAR: 15 Feb 2018
Mangrove Forest Restoration and Management: Social & Governance Dimensions



Join USAID LandLinks and a panel of experts, for an interactive online discussion on Mangrove Forest Restoration and Management: Social and Governance Dimensions.

Mangrove research and programming activities have primarily focused around the biophysical and ecological dimensions associated with planting and protection, while the social dimensions of mangrove management have centered largely as a means to forest conservation and protection. However, little attention has been given towards the need for mangrove forest restoration and management as a means toward improved and sustainable livelihoods.

This webinar will open the conversation about the need for a shift in thinking about mangrove forest restoration and management to be a means toward improved and sustainable livelihoods. We will discuss the preconditions that are necessary to successful mangrove management, including tenure and governance arrangements, and provide a learning space that encourages broad participation and discussion between USAID missions, implementing partners and the global community of mangrove experts.

Hear perspectives on these important issues from mangrove experts in the field, including:

*         Global Study of Mangrove Governance: Dr. Esther Mwangi from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR);

*         Vietnam Coastal Spatial Planning and Mangrove Management Experiences: Dr. Nayna Jhaveri from USAID-funded Tenure and Global Climate Change project;

*         Ghana Coastal Sustainable Landscapes Experiences: Dr. Steve Dennison from United States Forest Service (USFS); and

*         Mozambique USAID-funded Coastal City Adaptation Project (CCAP) Experiences: Dr. Salomao Bandeira, Olanda Bata and Casimiro Antonio.
