The world’s first community-led mangrove conservation project to be funded by carbon credits. This project provides a ‘triple win’ for the community of Gazi Bay in southern Kenya: fighting climate change, conserving biodiversity, and improving the livelihood of the community.

Our second project was launched in 2019 after Mikoko Pamoja’s success. This mangrove conservation project will help support community development projects and improve the livelihoods of 9,000 people in three villages: Vanga, Jimbo, and Kiwegu, located on the Kenya-Tanzania border.

Meaning ‘Mangroves for Our Future’ in Mandinka, this project is a community-led mangrove restoration project in The Gambia. The project area is 200km inland from the coast along the main tributary of the Gambia Rover, the Bintang Bolong, a truly unique setting.

This project is located in the same bay as Vanga Blue Forest. This project aims to protect the biodiversity within important seagrass meadows through the sale of biodiversity credits under Plan Vivo’s PV Nature Standard. Vanga Bay supports various species of culturally and commercially important fish and other marine animals (including IUCN Red List endangered species).
