Summary
Indonesia has experienced a large decline in mangroves, due primarily to widespread conversion to shrimp and fish ponds. With an increased recognition of the loss of environmental services that had previously been provided by the mangroves, there is a increasing interest by government, NGOs, and local communities to rehabilitate the mangroves. Unfortunately, most efforts in Indonesia have proven largely unsuccessful due to a poor social and technical understanding underlying conventional approaches. This training seeks to introduce a more successful approach, Ecological Mangrove Rehabilitation, to support a project aimed at restoring mangroves in Pohuwato District (Gorontalo) of northern Sulawesi.
Indonesia telah mengalami penurunan ekosistem mangrove yang sangat besar akibat konversi tambak udang dan ikan besar-besaran. Seiring dengan tumbuhnya kesadaran akan kerugian dari jasa lingkungan yang tadinya disediakan oleh mangrove, pemerintah, LSM dan masyarakat lokal bersama-sama ikut menyadari pentingnya merehabilitasi ekosistem mangrove. Sayangnya, banyak upaya-upaya rehabilitasi di Indonesia telah gagal karena kurangnya pemahaman sosial dan teknis dalam pendekatan-pendekatan rehabilitasi pada umumnya. Pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk menemukenali sebuah pendekatan yang terbukti lebih berhasil, yaitu restorasi mangrove berbasis ekologi (Ecological Mangrove Rehabilitation-EMR), guna mendukung sebuah projek rehabilitasi di Kabupaten Pohuwato, Gorontalo, Indonesia.
