Worldview International Foundation (WIF) has since 1979 specialised in communication development and project implementation which has from 2012 been working in cooperation with Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry, Pathein University and Myeik University in research and development of effective methods for mangrove restoration.

This has been a fruitful cooperation with tangible results. These institutions have professionals with valuable knowledge and capacity, but lack resources and infrastructure. It has been a win-win partnership with the aim of building up national capacity on mangrove restoration at a time with urgent need for action to meet national challenges of climate change.

Since 2015, WIF has involved in restoring 2146 hectares of degraded mangrove area in Magyi, Thaegone and Thabawkan village tracts. Without external funding, these local communities are not able to protect these important mangroves which act as barriers against natural disasters such as cyclones, tsunami. Mangroves also improve the local fish catch, purify water and exchange the climate change adaptation in the region.
