Social Project: Bakau Revival Project

(June 2024)

Yayasan Kossan is proud to report on our partnership with Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as the Platinum sponsor for a significant Bakau Revival Project. The project this year is designed to be executed in phases, and the first phase commenced successfully on June 8, 2024, at Pusat Riadah Laut in Tanjung Kepah, Setiawan, Perak.

The event saw the participation of 49 dedicated volunteers, including YK volunteers, UTP students, local villagers, and members of the forestry department. Together, they spent half a day planting 150 mangrove trees of the “Bakau Kurap” species. This effort marks a critical step towards restoring the natural habitat and combating coastal erosion.

Following the planting, the UTP students will monitor the progress of the newly planted mangroves over the next three months. This monitoring process is crucial for the design and execution of the next phase, as it will take into consideration the success rate of the planting that was done. The overall goal is to plant 1,000 mangrove trees by the end of this project.

This initiative not only benefits the environment but also fosters community spirit and collaboration. To support or learn more about the Bakau Revival Project, please reach out to us.
