The Delta Azure project is an innovative initiative, focused on the restoration and conservation of Nigeria’s critical mangrove ecosystems in Delta State and Rivers State. Spanning over 520,000 hectares of mangroves, with an additional 35,000 hectares identified for afforestation and 375,000 hectares of seagrass for protection and restoration, our project integrates environmental restoration with community-led sustainability efforts.
We will also be working with farmers to improve the soil heath of 82,000 hectares of farm land and produce over 600,000 tonnes of biochar to rehabilitate soils and improve agricultural yields and remediate oil-damaged lands.
By combining mangrove and seagrass restoration, sustainable farming, and biochar production, we aim to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, all while empowering local communities with economic opportunities.
Delta Azure is dedicated to restoring and safeguarding the vital mangrove ecosystems along the coast of Nigeria’s Delta State and Rivers State. These ecosystems not only protect coastal shores from erosion and storms but also serve as essential carbon sinks, storing greenhouse gases and helping combat climate change.
At the heart of Delta Azure is the Carbon Mosaic, a holistic strategy that integrates mangrove restoration, sustainable farming, and community-led conservation. By working closely with over 400 local communities, across Delta State and Rivers State, we are not only revitalising the environment but also creating sustainable livelihoods through innovative programs like beekeeping, biochar production, and oyster farming.
Together, we are building a blueprint for ecological resilience and community empowerment. Join us in making a lasting impact on the environment and the lives of those who depend on it.
