Planting Mangroves and Production of textbook in Kiribati for enhancement of public awareness on importance of mangrove ecosystems

Kiribati is one of the island countries facing the serious threat of sea-level rise. Since 2004, ISME has been implementing a project in Tarawa, Kiribati. Objective of this project is to introduce mangrove-planting techniques to local community and authorities concerned, and also to develop educational materials such as textbooks on natural environment to be distributed to the children in Kiribati. 
Project is financed by COSMO OIL Co., Ltd. (Japan). Project is implemented in collaboration with a Japanese NGO "Asia Pacific Sustainable Development (APSD)", and is strongly supported by Ministry of Environment Lands and Agriculture Development (MELAD) and Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS) of Kiribati.
