Go back to the top of this thread and you'll see one of Wen's stories—a short video on how the indigenous Tombonuo villagers of Kampung Sungai Eloi in Pitas, Kudat, are rehabilitating what's left of the #mangroves around them after a shrimp farm—#Sabah's largest ever—cleared 900 hectares.

She also has an accompanying photo essay for Macaranga:

As Wen and I wrote:

"With this project, we’re attempting to explore a few questions: How effective have [conservation] efforts been and what gaps remain? Can Indigenous communities make a greater case for their economic and conservationist roles, so often underestimated and undervalued? How can local communities and conservationists work with the authorities in common cause? What does proactive, not just reactive, stewardship look like?"

Last year, an ex-colleague and I applied for a grant from the Pulitzer Center's Rainforest Journalism Fund to explore stories in #Sabah's mangroves. Initially we explored a few other leads, but landed in the end on #mangroves (not technically rainforests but I guess connected enough to the fund's concerns). I'd long found these intertidal forests to be incredibly evocative and knew how crucial they are for mitigating our climate crisis, and felt that they should be given a little more attention.

I meant to post this a while back. Do watch this short film shot by Yih Wen Chen for New Naratif telling the story of how large swathes of #mangroves in Pitas, Kudat were cleared for #Sabah's largest #aquaculture farm, which failed to take off (along with any promises of jobs supposedly to alleviate poverty)—leaving local villagers to pick up the mess and rehabilitate what's left: rainforestjournalismfund.org/s
