The Tanjung Bawang Carbon Corridor
A critical ecological interface in West Kalimantan, combining immense sediment carbon pools with community-led coastal defense systems.
Deep Organic Sediment Storage
Unlike terrestrial forests, the Tanjung Bawang tidal mudflats lock carbon deep within anaerobic soil layers, preserving centuries of organic matter beneath the roots.
Our scientific teams measure soil core samples down to three meters, verifying high-density carbon stocks that remain stable when protected from coastal erosion.
The Mangrove Wildlife Corridors
This coastal fringe serves as a critical buffer zone, hosting specialized species that rely on healthy estuarine conditions to survive.
Estuarine Nurseries
Avian Corridors
Canopy Mammals
Tidal root systems shelter juvenile fish and crabs, directly supporting the local community fisheries that patrol these waters.
The upper mangrove canopy provides critical foraging territory for threatened proboscis monkeys and local primate populations.
Migratory shorebirds utilize the mudflats as vital feeding stops along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway corridor.
Halting the Coastal Degradation
Unregulated aquaculture and localized timber extraction threaten to destabilize these fragile sediment layers, releasing centuries of stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
By establishing community-managed concessions, we replace extractive practices with sustainable fisheries and direct carbon-finance incentives.
