Andhra Pradesh has been ranked second among Indian states for mangrove restoration under the MISHTI scheme, highlighting its significant contributions to coastal ecosystem management.
Andhra Pradesh’s mangrove restoration efforts have earned the state recognition under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change’s MISHTI scheme, securing the second position among all states.
The MISHTI scheme focuses on restoring and managing mangrove ecosystems along India’s coastlines, aiming to enhance biodiversity, protect against coastal erosion, and support livelihoods.
The state’s project involved planting thousands of mangrove saplings across several districts, with a significant area of mangrove forest restored, contributing to carbon sequestration and coastal resilience.
This achievement underscores the importance of coordinated conservation initiatives and sets a benchmark for other states to follow in safeguarding coastal environments.
