PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the issues raised by GEF SGP Indonesia is the preservation of mangrove forests in coastal areas of small islands, specifically on Kaledupa Island, Wakatobi Regency. In addition to the reason that there are not many programs utilizing mangroves as food products in eastern Indonesia (especially Kaledupa and Wakatobi), Akar Embun chose this theme for mangrove preservation strategy by approaching processed food products from mangroves and establishing sustainable 'Coastal Learning Groups'. The extensive coverage of mangrove forests along the coast of Kaledupa, especially in the villages of Horuo and Mantigola, also strengthens our rationale for choosing this theme as an intervention program conducted over a period of twelve months, from April 2019 to March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before entering this step, the mangrove fruits, traditionally harvested by Saompu, are boiled and soaked for two days and two nights until the toxins are removed and ready for processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
