Community-led initiative in Pred Nai village aims to restore a critically important mangrove ecosystem after decades of degradation caused by charcoal mining and pollution from commercial prawn farming.

An iterative learning process of community-based management of a flooded forest in the Brazilian Amazon is approaching a framework that simultaneously benefits biodiversity conservation and local communities.

The Haor Basin exhibits a delicately balanced ecosystem whose stability is threatened by increased instances of flooding. An integrated community management programme is implementing revegetation and tree-planting with the support of community nurseries and working to conserve areas of high ecological, social, and economic value. 

Six villages in Senegal engaged in agro-forestry, forest restoration, and assisted natural regeneration to improve the ecosystem-based adaptation potential of the area. Various nature-based structures were also deployed to reduce salt water intrusion on forest and agricultural land.

Stone bunds, Zaï, and half-moon agriculture techniques have been implemented alongside composting, reforestation, and farmer-managed natural regeneration to reduce the vulnerability of communities to increasingly unpredictable and limited rainfall.

Communities in the Paz River basin are employing mangrove restoration, unblocking freshwater channels, removing silt in mangrove canals, and conducting a community surveillance program enforcing a Local Plan for Sustainable Extraction to strengthen and recover the local wetland ecosystem. 

The Governance for Ecosystem-based Adaptation project, or Go4EbA project, aims to address food and water security through the restoration of riparian forests, soil conservation techniques, agroforestry and agroecological diversification. 

Conservation, forest restoration, and organic soil nutrient management in mountainous areas of the Panchase region of Nepal aim to strengthen adaptive capacity of local communities and ecosystems.

Populations in the Mount Elgon region of Uganda face imminent challenges as a result of climate change including increasingly erratic rainfall and the melting of snow and glaciers resulting in flooding and subsequent drought. Ecosystem-based adaptation approaches were implemented to restore degraded landscapes, encourage more sustainable agricultural methods, and conserve water and soil resources.
