Strengthening Community Awareness through the Media
Location: Kendrapara, Orissa, India. 13th Mar 2013
The use of media to advance sustainable resource management and conservation in a cost effective, efficient and accessible manner is an integral component in most successful projects
The achievements of the APOWA small grant project Community stewardship in conservation, restoration and sustainable management of mangroves in Orissa have been documented multiple times in daily Odia newspapers like the Dharitri. The wide reach of these newspapers in the Bhitarkanika region, helps to spread the importance of action and information sharing amongst community members, forest officials, local institutions policy makers, non-governmental organizations, professionals, academics and practitioners, further aiding in mustering support for the restoration of mangroves
