This restoration seeks to enhance the ecosystem for biodiversity to return and promote the ecosystem’s resilience. Additionally, this initiative is integrating conservation and sustainable development by training local communities to protect and maintain this wetland. The initiative represents a Natural Climate Solution, driven by Crees Foundation For Manu.
