In 2012 MAP celebrates 20 years of dedicated Action for the mangroves and the people who depend on them. Join the action for change!

The Mangrove Action Project is dedicated to reversing the degradation and loss of mangrove forest ecosystems worldwide. Its main goal is to promote the rights of traditional and indigenous coastal peoples, including fishers and farmers, to sustainably manage their coastal environs.

Through its global network and offices  International (U.S.A. Office),  Asia Regional (Thailand Office),  Indonesia, and Latin America, MAP is stimulating the exchange of ideas and information on the conservation and restoration of mangrove forests, while promoting sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities.
