Avicennia marina 🌱🌳 — one of the most delicate mangrove species to raise from the nursery to the forest.

Growing Avicennia marina seedlings is not as simple as putting a seed in the soil and waiting for it to grow. From the nursery stage, these young seedlings require patience, close monitoring, the right conditions and continuous care.

The most challenging moment comes when it is time to transport and transfer them from the nursery to the planting site. Their young roots and stems are delicate, and rough handling, excessive exposure to the sun, dehydration or damage during transportation can affect their survival.

That is why every seedling must be handled with extra care — carefully lifted, properly packed, transported safely and planted without damaging the root system.

At Bidii Creek CBO, we understand that mangrove restoration is not just about the number of seedlings planted. It is about giving every seedling the best possible chance to survive, grow and eventually become part of a healthy mangrove ecosystem. 🌱💚

Every seedling represents patience, hard work and hope for the future.

As the Kenya Forest Service and the KENYA SCOUTS ASSOCIATION prepare the planting site at Jomvu kwa Fara village for the 26th July mangrove restoration exercise, Bidii Creek Conservancy-CBO team has been hard at work transporting Avicennia marina seedlings from our nursery to the planting site.

On 26th July, we will join the world in celebrating the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem. This special day will also mark an exciting milestone as the Kenya Scouts Association attempts to break the Guinness World Records title for the most people planting trees simultaneously.

Together, we are restoring our mangrove ecosystems, strengthening climate resilience, and inspiring collective environmental action—one seedling at a time.

🌱 Every seedling planted is an investment in a greener, healthier future.

Bidii Creek Conservancy-CBO was represented at the 11th Our Ocean Conference (OOC11), a global platform bringing together leaders, conservationists, and environmental stakeholders committed to protecting our oceans and coastal ecosystems.

The closing session, presided over by His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, President of Kenya, emphasized Kenya’s remarkable progress in mangrove restoration, marine conservation, ecosystem restoration, and climate action. The conference strongly highlighted the urgent need to move from commitments to action through partnerships, innovation, financing, science, and community participation.

As Bidii Creek CBO, we are encouraged to see that the priorities discussed at OOC11 directly reflect the work we continue to champion at the grassroots level — mangrove restoration, blue carbon conservation, biodiversity protection, and building climate resilience within our coastal communities.

This global conversation reaffirms what we have always believed: meaningful environmental conservation starts with empowered communities. Through collaboration with local stakeholders, volunteers, and partners, we remain committed to the conservation, restoration, and protection of our precious coastal ecosystems.

Together, we can create lasting change for our oceans, mangroves, and future generations.
