A true #conservation hero! A man worried about his village eroding into Gulf of Thailand began to plant #mangroves 25 years ago. Now a great #forest & the work continues! They also remove rubbish that accumulates in the mangroves from tides & #river inwash. Over 5.2 metric tonnes removed last year!

Don’t let the #UNCCRD White Paper produced from this summit “just be another document. Let it be a declaration that the degradation of our deltas will no longer be tolerated.” H.E. Senator Douye Diri. A most excellent sentiment! #river #deltas

Attending my first ever UN Convention, which just happens to be the first ever UN Convention on Conserving River Deltas! Will be presenting some of my results from my #livingdeltas #research as part of wider discussion on what needs to be done to make #river #deltas more resilient. #UNCCRD
