プロジェクト概要
The Delta Blue Carbon Project – Phase 1 (DBC-1) is an initiative to promote climate-change mitigation and adaptation, maintain biodiversity and create improved livelihoods, well-being and employment for forest-dependent communities in the project zone, an area comprising 350,000 ha of the Sindh Indus Delta Region in the Thatta and Sujawal districts of Sindh Province in south-eastern Pakistan. The delta is a vast complex of tidal river channels and creeks, low-lying islands, mangrove forests, and inter-tidal areas. Its mangrove forests are unique in being the largest area of arid climate mangroves in the world.
Listed as a global ecoregion in the World Wildlife Fund’s Global 200, the region holds great ecological significance, supporting unique animal and plant species. The Indus River is the main migration route of thousands of birds, which cross over the Himalayas.
