The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), in partnership with the British Red Cross (BRC), is launching the "Nature Pulse" program to enhance the resilience and well-being of coastal communities in the Sundarbans. This program will use nature-based solutions to protect the region’s vital mangrove ecosystems, which act as a "green shield" against climate impacts like cyclones, flooding, and coastal erosion. Through community consultations and engagement, practical activities will be introduced to help restore mangroves while providing alternative livelihoods for locals, reducing their dependency on natural resources, and introducing climate-resilient WASH facilities and health awareness programs. The project aims to improve living conditions and protect the environment, while also building the skills and capacity of community members, local government, and volunteers. Partnerships with national and international organizations will further support mangrove restoration and monitoring. The program will also raise awareness about Climate Justice, helping communities understand their rights and advocate for long-term, sustainable change.
