Humbled to visit the Dharitri Climate Grant applications alongside Shri Ashok Sahu, Dharitri Berhampur, who, despite his mother being in the ICU, still rode hundreds of kms on his bike to ensure every application was reached. A level of devotion is truly inspiring.👏@SatpathyLive

@CMO_Odisha @Prem_CWLWOdisha Once again, the Puri Wildlife Division fails — no patrols, no real strategy in place!!🐢🥺 The #DeviRiverMouth, one of Odisha’s crucial Olive Ridley nesting sites, is in danger. Like every year, the very first week has already exposed the weak enforcement on the ground. No effective patrolling, no monitoring — and soon, turtle mortalities will rise, only to be quietly buried overnight to conceal the crisis. We urgently request immediate action to safeguard the Olive Ridleys and their nesting habitat at Devi River Mouth. Every delay costs lives — the situation is alarming and demands intervention. #SaveDeviRiverMouth #SaveOliveRidley #OdishaCoast #WildlifeConservation #BayOfBengal

ଓଡ଼ିଶା ଉପକୂଳରେ ଆମ ଲୁଣା ଜଙ୍ଗଲ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ଉଦ୍ୟମ.. ସଂଘର୍ଷ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଲାଗିଥିବା ୨୮,୦୦୦ ହେନ୍ତାଳବଣର ବିଭିନ୍ନ ପ୍ରଜାତି ଚାରାକୁ ନଦୀ ସଂଲଗ୍ନ ଗାଁର ମା'ମାନେ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ନଦୀ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରି କରୁଛନ୍ତି ଏହାର ରକ୍ଷଣାବେକ୍ଷଣ । This afternoon, during our routine site visit, we closely observed and engaged with the daily efforts of our #WomenForMangroves team. These last-mile marginalized communities planted 28,000 mangrove saplings last year at the Devi River Mouth. Every day, they bravely cross the river in wooden boats to safeguard and nurture these fragile ecosystems, ensuring their survival through continuous care and vigilance. These courageous women, once dependent on wetland resources in unsustainable ways, have now stepped up as frontline ecosystem stewards, taking on the daily responsibility of safeguarding mangroves. Braving the tides, they cross over rivers in wooden boats for their #ThengaPali routine patrol, ensuring no harm comes to the saplings they once overlooked. Our continuous engagement with these grassroots champions allows us to track progress, strengthen local leadership, and scale up our community-led climate action model through Nature-Based-Solutions model. Their leadership reflects how inclusive participation can turn around fragile landscapes and empower communities to build climate resilience from the ground up. We at Odisha Paryavaran Sanrakshan Abhiyan - OPSA TRUST invite like-minded partners to come on board and drive forward our shared vision of Million Mangroves by 2030. Together, let’s build up climate-resilient coastal ecosystems and inclusive green economies along the Indian Coastline. #MillionMangrovesBy2030 #WomenForMangroves #CommunityLedConservation #ClimateResilience #SustainableWetlands #EcosystemStewards #NaturePositive #odishaMangroves #ResilientCommunities

"One Million Mangroves by 2030" Initiative Launches at Devi River Mouth to Protect Odisha's Coast.🌊 The Odisha Paryavaran Sanrakshan Abhiyan Trust ( @OdishaSeaTurtle), in partnership with Sabuja Sakha Astaranga, Odia Daily @DharitriLive1 , and @OrissaPOSTLive, has launched a ambitious mission to plant one million mangroves by 2030. This critical initiative was inaugurated at the ecologically sensitive Devi River Mouth, an area still recovering from the devastating 1999 Super Cyclone. The launch ceremony witnessed the presence of esteemed guests including Smt. @AdyashaSatpath3 , CEO of The Dharitri Odia Daily & The OrissaPOST, and Shri @SatpathyLive , Editor-in-Chief. They were joined by local leaders such as Sarpanch Shri Ramachandra Kandi, Astaranga Gram Panchayat, along with renowned conservationists Bichi Bhai (recipient of Biju Patnaik Wildlife Award) and Charu Maa (Indian Biodiversity Award winner). The event saw active participation from over 70 PRI members, fishermen community representatives, youth leaders, and local residents. This ambitious program addresses the alarming global loss of 20% of mangrove cover since 1980, while specifically working to restore Odisha's natural coastal defenses. Mangroves serve as vital barriers against storms, prevent soil erosion, support marine biodiversity, and sequester four times more carbon than tropical forests. The initiative builds upon OPSA Trust's 14 years of grassroots experience in coastal conservation, which includes successfully planting mangroves at Devi River Mouth and mobilizing community efforts to plant 1,20,000 mangroves across Balasore, Erasama (Jagatsinghpur), and Bahuda River Mouth areas. The #MillionMangroves initiative uniquely combines traditional ecological knowledge with scientific approaches to create sustainable solutions. It focuses not just on plantation but also creating livelihood opportunities for Marginilized fishermen communities, transforming former mangrove-cutters into conservation champions. The program aims to protect vulnerable coastal populations from climate impacts while reviving critical wetland ecosystems. OPSA Trust extends an open invitation to CSR partners, environmental organizations, and concerned citizens to join this vital movement. Collective support can help achieve the dual goals of ecological restoration and community empowerment, ensuring a more resilient future for Odisha's coastline.

Come Cyclone or Flood, the residents of this fishermen village would pack their bags and shift to camps. That is all set to change within a decade due to the Mangrove Conservation efforts of Jhadling village women under the banner of @OdishaSeaTurtle. 101reporters.com/article/enviro…
