What a turn of events!
Our ReWET project partner in Bangladesh, @mohamma64508589 has taken on the role of Mayor of Dhaka North!
Learn more about ReWET: A locally-led urban wetland restoration model being developed with a slum dweller cooperative in Dhaka…

ReWET is one of the projects within @REDAAprogramme , managed by @IIED and funded by UKFCDO…
More interestingly, one of the first visitors were members of Nogor Abad, the agroecological collective working in our project. It may seem very normal now but previously, it would have been impossible for someone from the slum to be close to the mayor, let alone go as an organisation to congratulate…

To restore #Dhaka's wetlands, we must recognize the vital role of urban farmers as environmental stewards. Social inclusion & empowerment must be central to restoration efforts.

Dhaka saw a 97% increase in days ≥35°C in the last 30 years. Wetlands, key to cooling the city, are vanishing quickly 🥵
With #WorldWetlandsDay approaching, we're highlighting this initiative that helps locals restore wetlands & ensure climate justice 👇

I wrote an op-ed for the New Age today, one of the leading english national daily in Bangladesh.
In it, I stressed the importance of restoring wetlands from an urban design perspective and why such nature-based interventions are crucial for climate resilience, but only if they can be done in a socially just way co-produced with the locals…
(Which is what we are hoping to do in our ReWET project)…

Pinus patula, native of Mexico, planted in 80's to restore Nepal's degraded hills. The species, reported to be invasive in Africa, has escaped Nepal's plantation. However, we don't have knowledge on its status & impacts. FAN's @REDAAprogramme is studying its status & impact.
