Paludiculture is the wet cultivation of marshland, and the preservation of peat is the primary driver.

Good news! Yesterday 10 community groups in Demak district, Central Java signed contracts with the Building with Nature Indonesia Consortium to help restore mangroves to secure their eroded coastline. In return for their support, which may involve giving up their fish ponds at the shoreline, the project supports them in revitalising aquaculture ponds inland and building up new livelihoods that do not disturb the restored mangrove buffer. Great to see this important sign of commitment by the villagers! More information: www.wetlands.org/news/besides-building-nature-demak-needs-tackle-subsidence-safeguard-coastline/ ...
