ASIA
Susan Lusiana, Blue Carbon Senior Manager, Konservasi Indonesia
“Asia’s vast and diverse mangroves are vital to the world’s coastal resilience. Our strength lies not in working alone, but in uniting the many efforts already in motion. It’s time to move beyond silos, to align our vision and actions. Asia must not only join the global mangrove movement — it must lead it.”
AMERICAS
Ixchel López, member of GMA Mexican Chapter and Oceans lead, WWF Mexico
“The Mexico chapter of the GMA is working to ensure mangrove conservation and restoration become a national priority, integrating coastal communities, science and public policy. Our commitment is to promote national and regional strategies that recognize the ecological and social value of mangroves, strengthen legal protection and maintain participatory governance that delivers real benefits for both people and nature.”
WEST AFRICA
Ibrahima Thiam, Director Wetlands
International West Africa
“The Global Mangrove Alliance opened a new world frontier in the history of mangrove conservation and restoration. West Africa joined the movement with the creation of two GMA national chapters in Guinea Bissau and Senegal. Our partnerships are actively formulating their contribution to the GMA goals and the West Africa regional report is a critical milestone in this ambitious journey"

PARTNERS
Supported by:
The Mobilizing the Mangrove Breakthrough (MMB) is a project initiated by the Global Mangrove Alliance, supported by the Bezos Earth Fund.
This initiative provides seed funding to develop propositions for programs at scale in an initial set of priority countries. This GMA-project is coordinated by Wetlands International in close collaboration with the Mangrove Breakthrough Secretariat.
The Regional Readiness Reports were led by Conservation International, working alongside national GMA chapters and a wide range of stakeholders.
“The Regional Readiness Reports are blueprints to help donors, financial institutions, governments and NGOs align their resources and commitments—advancing the Mangrove Breakthrough into its next phase, driving system-level change across target regions, and delivering tangible benefits for frontline coastal communities and ecosystems.”
Ignace Beguin, Director of the Mangrove Breakthrough
"These reports answer the critical question of where and how we can most effectively accelerate mangrove action. “They point funders and decision-makers to opportunities and to places and partners ready to move.”
