Mangrove Action Project meet with FIAES in El Salvador

The Mangrove Action Project team are currently in El Salvador to follow-up on restoration activities since their mangrove restoration training workshop in 2011. Whilst there, the team met with FIAES Executive Director, Ing. Jorge Oviedo, along with members of their technical team, to learn the advances and positive impacts of the implementation of the Ecological Mangrove Restoration (REM) method. Since 2011 there have been important transformations for nature and local communities in the Ramsar Bahía de Jiquilisco site.

The Ministerio de Medio Ambiente and FIAES are the leading promoters of the innovative and effective REM method for the conservation of this vital ecosystem within El Salvador. FIAES said "We are grateful for the cordial visit of the Mangrove Action Project (MAP) team, because through these meetings the exchange of knowledge is promoted, strengthening the actions of restoration and conservation of ecosystems at a local and regional level"
