| How does the result of Mangrove REpLaNT (MR) |
|
This
photo has shown the result of MR. It was done successfully. Both of it
taken by KeSEMaT in the same location and position but differ in year.
The left was taken in 2003, after participant re-planted seeds.
Meanwhile, the right was taken in 2005. First
photo shows the condition of coastal area of Bay Awur, which was barren
(in 2003) then become thick (in 2005). There are MR’s name-plate in
front of it. Under nameplate, there are Avicennia sp and Aegiceras sp.
This
picture has proven that in two years, mangrove was growing up (its
survival rate up to 90%) and reaching up to 2 meters in height.
Unfortunately, the name-plate was stolen by someone. Meanwhile, Avicennia sp and Aegiceras sp also growing up and become thicker.
This
success story because of hard effort showed by KeSEMaters who always
keeping their mangrove seeds. They have weekly program called KeSEMaT
Goes To Arboretum (KGTA). |
