Where Do We Plant? What Makes Silvofishery Different?

Planting trees are easy, building a forest is not.
The primary challenges of afforestation and reforestation (AF/RF) efforts are twofold: land ownership and lack of economic benefits to stakeholders and to community.

We named our conservation area #ForeverForest, referring to a forest that is permanent.

1. Land is Power
For us, ownership is not merely a transaction; it is a declaration of intent, a commitment to stewardship that extends beyond our lifetimes. Forever is not a concept to be taken lightly: no ‘if’s, no ‘but’s. Forever is forever — is a vow.

The launch of #ForeverForest marked a new chapter for Karbon Biru. We internalizes land prices into the cost of planting mangroves. This move was life-changing, Karbon Biru can securing the land tenure necessary to build mangrove forest without threats of displacement.  

2. Conservation shall bring economic benefits
Many communities depend on their land for their livelihoods, whether through fishing, or other activities. Planting trees, while beneficial for the environment, does not immediately translate into tangible benefits for local society.

Silvofishery combines forestry and aquaculture, allowing communities to cultivate fish, crabs, mussels, seaweed, and other strong aquatic species within the mangrove ecosystems. This approach not only provides a source of income but also ensures the sustainability of both forestry and food security.

We believe the coast, an area where the land meets the sea, has been the most dynamic, multi-functional, and extensive system in human’s history: human settlement, economic sectors, global transportation, and tourist industry.

Meanwhile, coastal wetlands have two significant roles for earth;

1) Natural barrier that protects the coast towards tsunami, erosion, wind, and sea rise that naturally dissipate waves; and

2) Maintaining the stocks of carbon up to 70% of the total carbon stocks. Despite the effectiveness of the blue market in carbon sequestration, mangroves are disappearing at a rate of four times that of tropical rainforests. If the mangrove ecosystem is not replenished, then it is estimated that coastal vegetation may be lost within the next 20 years and rate of CO2 global uptake will be reduced by 25%.

Therefore, here are what we have done to make progress, to #BluingTheEarth, since wetland ecosystems have become one of the issues which raised international concern, especially mangrove deforestation in tropical nations.

We invite you (business, institutions, and individuals) to make progress with us.
