Mbaarak Abdalla the founder of Bran Youth attended the Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration Training implemented by the Mangrove Action Project 28th Jan. – 5th Feb 2019 in the Rufiji Delta, Tanzania under the support of Wetland International. This 8 day intensive training course covers mangrove ecology, biology with a focus on promoting natural regeneration where possible by removing stressors. The training involves both classroom and field based training. Mbaarak was a very enthusiastic participant and presented the Brain Youth project activity at Tudor Creek.

Coastal natural capital provides essential goods and ecosystem services such as food, energy, construction materials for the population. Habitat and food for wildlife. Jobs, tourism and investment for the economy, as well as acting as a form of mitigation against emissions and waste. Coastal natural capital are essential inputs for production.

Mangroves Part Of Resilience, Rehabilitation

This organization is a leader in ecosystem conservation and restoration in the region. They have determined and dedicated leaders who make every project succeed. This project will be a working showcase for what must be done elsewhere in the region and around the world. Mangroves are noth the silver bullet in our battle against global warming and climate change, but mangroves are clearly part of healthy ecosystems and resilient communities. I look forward to reading even more success stories and best practices from this team. We all can learn from them.

Mbaarak's leadership and vision for Tudor Creek and Beyond

I have been working with Mbaarak for over 1.5 yr now and his leadership and vision as founder of Brain Youth Group and Mangrove restoration projects has been exemplary. Trying to build a self-sustaining nursery that can generate saplings for mangroves, provide valuable lesson on environmental awareness to young students of community schools, the group has been part of well-rounded development for the area. The vision to expand mangrove project into other tree (fruits, berries etc. ) planting activities that can provide earnings to locals while also restoring forest cover has potential to expand community based forestry initiative. The group's tireless work in building new networks, reaching out of large foundations and donors to raise funds for its ambitious goals for Tudor creek restoration is commendable

Tudor Creek Mangrove Restoration

Passionate about restoring mangroves in their own community, Tudor Creek Mangrove Restoration raises saplings and works with local youth groups to plant them along the shores, instilling a respect and love for the earth in the next generation. The mangroves do more than store carbon, they restore an ecosystem that supports local fishing and farming and protects the community from rising seas and storm surges. They make efficient use of resources and have a 80% tree survival rate. The organization has received recognition from regional organizations and the UN.
