Climate Change and Environmental Protection

The Mangrove Protection, Conservation, and Restoration initiative seeks to rehabilitate and protect mangrove ecosystems, ensuring their resilience against climate change. By engaging in mangrove replanting, promoting climate-smart agriculture, and enhancing local stewardship of these ecosystems, we are reinforcing the role of mangroves in biodiversity conservation and coastal protection. These efforts align with our broader mission to create a sustainable and environmentally conscious future, where nature and communities thrive together. Using our affiliate media house (i.e., Nyce FM), we have continuously advocated against the deforestation of mangroves in the Woarabeba enclave.

Moving forward, Challenging Heights aims to expand its partnerships, with key state and non-state institutions such as the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), Forest Watch, Climate Change and Environment Coalition, CSOs Alliance on Mining, CSOs Platform on Oil and Gas, Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS), CSOs Fisheries Alliance, CSO Coalition on Land, Forestry Commission, and relevant SDGs Platforms. We also plan to deepen our research efforts and enhance community-based programs to build resilient, sustainable, and safe environments for all. Through our various programs, partnerships, and community engagements, the organization has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental sustainability while protecting vulnerable populations from exploitative practices.
