The projects include protection of the states’ mangroves, the third-largest ecosystem of its kind in the world, from unsustainable timber and fuel-wood extraction and agricultural practices and invasive species infestation.  Funding for the work has included backing from the governments of Bayelsa State and Rivers State and bilateral support from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Darwin Initiative), Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
