Mountains To Mangroves

What happens when floods leave snakes with nowhere to go?

In Amadi, rising waters didn’t just flood homes—they brought snakes into them. With no trees along the riverbank, there was no space separating people from the wild.

For years, this was a reality families had to accept. Then trees were planted.

As the saplings grew, the soil began to hold together. The riverbank became more stable. And slowly, the snakes stopped entering homes not because they disappeared, but because they had somewhere else to go.

Fish began returning to the area, using the roots for shelter. The air felt cooler. What started as planting trees became something larger - a way to restore balance between people and the river.

Simple, effective, and rooted in the landscape, this is nature-based restoration in action.

Mountains To Mangroves

For years, chemical fertilizers promised better harvests in the hills of Sittong. And for a while, they worked.

But slowly, the soil began to weaken. Water sources started disappearing. What once looked like progress began to show its cost.

Farmers like Mandesh Tamang made a difficult choice—to return to traditional, nature-based farming practices that work with the land, not against it.

This is not a quick fix. The shift is slow, uncertain, and deeply rooted in trust—trust in the soil, in water, and in knowledge passed down through generations.

Can the land recover? Watch the story unfold. If this story stayed with you, share it and help it reach further.

Climate challenges don’t follow borders and neither should the solutions.

In this video, Sonam Wangdi from the Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation explains how the Mountains to Mangroves Atlas is helping guide climate action across regions.

By combining layered data, local knowledge, and community stories, the platform supports better decision-making for restoration and resilience.

But it’s more than just a tool.

It connects voices from the ground to global audiences—helping unlock support where it’s needed most.

This is what climate action looks like when knowledge, communities, and data come together.

Watch till the end to understand how local stories can shape global impact.

Mountains To Mangroves

What if the food on your plate depends on soil that is slowly losing its strength?

In Kalimpong, farmers began to notice the change—lower productivity, unpredictable weather, and growing dependence on chemical fertilizers that were affecting both the land and their health.

For Pavitra and her community, this became a turning point.

They began shifting to natural methods—preparing vermicompost using local materials, improving soil health, and gradually bringing trees back into the landscape.

The change is not immediate. But signs of recovery are beginning to show—in the soil, in the crops, and in the land itself.

Can degraded soil be restored once it starts to fail?

Watch how this transformation is taking shape.

What if protecting a mountain was as simple as planting grass?

Broom grass, commonly used to make household brooms, plays a critical role in stabilising fragile slopes. Its deep root system binds soil, reduces erosion, and helps prevent landslides—especially in vulnerable mountain regions.

But the impact doesn’t stop there.

By holding soil in place, broom grass also prevents sediment from flowing into rivers, protecting downstream ecosystems like mangroves. This connection between mountains and coasts shows how small, local actions can have far-reaching environmental impact.

Simple, effective, and already part of everyday life—this is nature-based restoration in action.

In Kivikhu, forests have always been a source of survival.

For years, hunting and cutting trees were part of everyday life. But for one man, that began to change.

This is the story of a personal shift—from using the forest to protect it—and the much harder challenge that followed: convincing an entire village to see things differently.

Because conservation is not just about planting trees or making rules. It is about people, livelihoods, and difficult choices.

Not everyone agrees. And the real question remains—what does it take to bring a community along?

Watch to see what has changed, and what is still at stake.

In a region like the Eastern Himalayas, nature doesn’t follow borders and neither should solutions.

Here, Virginia Gorsevski, Vice President, Nature-Based Solutions at Conservation International, speaks about the power of regional collaboration through the Mountains to Mangroves Atlas.

By bringing together partners like Wetlands International, WWF, and World Resources Institute, the initiative creates a shared platform where different expertise, data, and on-ground experiences come together.

Because while action happens locally, the impacts of climate and biodiversity loss are regional.

And when partners work across borders, the impact becomes far greater than the sum of its parts. Collaboration beyond boundaries. Solutions at landscape scale.

This project is supported by the UK government through its Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Funding for the Mountains to Mangroves Atlas is delivered through Climate Action for a Resilient Asia (CARA), the UK’s flagship regional programme to build climate resilience in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific islands.

There was a time when the hills around Kalimpong were covered in dense forests, with streams flowing through the land.

Today, many of those slopes stand bare, and water sources are slowly disappearing.

For Tej Bahadur Rai, the solution is simple—restore the hills, plant trees, and care for the land the way communities once did.

But what really happens when forests begin to return?

This story follows the quiet changes that unfold when a landscape starts to heal—bringing back not just trees, but balance, water, and life.

Most people think restoration begins with planting trees. But the real work often starts much earlier—inside nurseries, where small decisions shape the future of entire forests.

Sapling tagging is one of the most overlooked yet essential steps in restoration. By tracking species, age, and care requirements, it turns scattered seedlings into a system that can be monitored, protected, and scaled.

From preventing disease outbreaks to improving survival rates in the field, this simple, data-driven process plays a critical role in building resilient ecosystems.

Across landscapes—from mountain slopes to coastal regions—these small details are quietly shaping stronger forests and healthier soil.

Watch how something as simple as a tag becomes the backbone of restoration.

Two sisters are spearheading a covert uprising to reclaim their land in Sukhai village.

Shikhali cares for an oak, neem, and wild olive nursery in her backyard, treating each sapling as if it were her own. She looked to trees to restore water and life to the village as rivers dried up and rainfall decreased.

Motivated by her work, Ilika Awomi organized the community - young people, women, elders, and farmers to preserve forests, put an end to destructive practices, and guarantee the land's prosperity.

The roots come from one sister. The voice comes from the other. Collectively, they are demonstrating that those closest to the land are the first to address climate change.

See how nature, community action, and tenacity come together to secure a future and restore a landscape.
