Project Details

NameRegenerative Seascapes for People, Climate and Nature
DescriptionRegenerative seascapes for people, climate and nature by Mission Inclusion The project aims to reduce coastal communities’ physical and socioeconomic vulnerability to adverse impacts of climate change in the Western Indian Ocean. The project aims to contribute to the African-led Great Blue Wall Initiative by supporting the establishment of a network of sustainable, resilient and inclusive seascapes in Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania. Three pillars of the project (Blue Planet, Blue Partners and Blue People) aim to operationalize equitable nature-based solutions with biodiversity co-benefits for climate adaptation. The project activities include: (1) creating a red list of ecosystems for the Western Indian Ocean region; (2) identifying and setting up demonstration sites on nature-based solutions for adaptation, focusing on inclusive ecosystem restoration solutions; and (3) coaching and coordination via a blue business incubator. The project partners, C-for-C (Madagascar), Mission inclusion (L'Oeuvre Léger) (Canada), Muleide (Mozambique), International Union for the Conservation of Nature, Groots (Kenya), Women Fund Tanzania Trust (Tanzania) and PFFDSA (Comoros) jointly planned and envisioned this project. The objective of the project is to support directly 33,840 (47 %) women and 13,680 (19 %) young women, in all their diversity, 15,120 (21 %) men and 9,360 (13 %) young men who are dependent on coastal and marine resources, as well as decision-makers, such as local, regional and national authorities, for their power to influence decisions about conservation. The project also targets 2,000,000 indirect beneficiaries. The project concentrates its efforts on the Lamu Seascape (Kenya), the Tanga-Pemba Seascape (Tanzania), the Inhambane Seascape (Mozambique), the Antsiranana Seascape (Madagascar) and the Moheli Seascape (Comoros). https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p011654001

Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions

Absolute value (STAR)

1,055.6

0.5% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Africa is covered by this project.

233,233

19.5% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from Africa.

This stacked bar chart represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
