Bee-Keeping Project to Protect Mangroves on World Wetlands Day
February 3 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
In celebration of World Wetlands Day, the BlueGreen Initiative for Sustainable Development Network (BlueGreenISDN) is proud to announce the launch of a pioneering project that integrates bee-keeping with mangrove conservation in Emereoke Kingdom, Eastern Obolo Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
Project Overview
This innovative initiative aims to raise awareness about the critical importance of wetlands and mangroves while providing sustainable livelihoods for the local community through bee-keeping. By establishing bee hives near mangrove ecosystems, the project seeks to protect these vital habitats from exploitation and degradation.
Key Activities
World Wetlands Day Celebration: A community event featuring educational talks, workshops, and a clean-up exercise to highlight the significance of wetlands and promote conservation efforts.
Bee-Keeping Training: Comprehensive workshops to equip community members with the skills and knowledge needed for effective bee-keeping, including hive management and honey production.
Mangrove Conservation and Monitoring: Regular environmental assessments and the use of monitoring tools to ensure the health and sustainability of mangrove ecosystems.
Community Empowerment: Support for participants in marketing honey and other bee products, fostering economic growth and self-sufficiency within the community.
Expected Outcomes
Enhanced Environmental Awareness: Increased understanding of the value of wetlands and mangroves among community members.
Sustainable Livelihoods: Creation of alternative income sources through bee-keeping, reducing reliance on activities that harm mangrove ecosystems.
Mangrove Protection: Preservation and restoration of mangrove forests, which play a crucial role in coastal protection, biodiversity support, and carbon sequestration.
