International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem
CRACK Centre, Tipligheri, Indian Sundarban | 26 July 2026
On the occasion of World Mangrove Day, the South Asian Forum for Environment (SAFE) and the Progyan Foundation for Research and Innovation (PFRI), in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Calcutta Camaraderie, organised a community-driven programme at the CRACK Centre in Tipligheri, Indian Sundarban.
The celebration brought together local communities, Sabuj Pathshala students, children, and volunteers for mangrove awareness sessions, creek-side nature walks, discussions on mangrove ecosystem services, and plantation activities.
Through experiential learning and community participation, the programme strengthened awareness of the role of mangroves in protecting coastal ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing climate resilience. The initiative continued PFRI’s effort to nurture local knowledge and practical stewardship for the conservation of the Sundarban.
