IHE Delft Institute for Water Education

IHE Delft Institute for Water Education see the planting as a symbol of the work of the Institute and all its 25,000+ alumni to improve the water situation all around the world.

We would like to invite you to join us in the IHE Delft alumni’s Mangrove planting conservation campaign to celebrate achievements done by IHE Delft and its Alumni worldwide, during the 10th World Water Forum to be held in Bali, Indonesia. It's a symbol to our collective dedication, networking and hard work towards creating positive change and making a difference in the water sector. Together, we can amplify our impact and inspire others to join us on the journey towards a more sustainable future for everyone.

A group of alumni has proposed the fundraiser activity of planting Mangroves in Telok Benoa, Bali in collaboration with LindungiHutan, a local organization that works with Mangrove farmers, to protect these environments and the farmer’s livelihoods. Alumni are invited to buy mangrove trees that local farmers will plant before the forum. You are welcome to monitor the activity’s impact via this website. The outcomes will be presented during Alumni Networking Gathering at the 10th World Water Forum.

Mangroves are a typical Indonesian ecosystem which provides unique and valuable ecosystem services, such as attenuating storm surges and dissipating wind waves, thereby reducing coastal flood risk. Furthermore, coastal ecosystems worldwide face challenges that with our initiative, we aim to raise awareness and solve at the local scale. Our action and contribution aim to support climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts, coastal protection, leaving a sustainable legacy, helping nature, at the same time as aligning with IHE Delft’s research on behalf of IHE alumni and the Institute.
