Our work in Riau
Stories from program locations show our work with communities. Figures in each story refer to its documented period.
01 Mangroves & coasts
With Sekat Bakau and partners, mangrove planting is combined with community nurseries and wave breakers. The May 2025 report documents 200 metres of wave breakers in Buruk Bakul.

02 Peatlands & water
Communities participated in site surveys and canal-block construction in Temiang and Tanjung Kuras. These structures aim to retain water in peatlands and support maintenance by local groups.
What needs continued measurementWater levels, structure condition, and fire risk require regular monitoring to assess results.
