WWF-Singapore has launched a three-year Blue Carbon Support Programme, in collaboration with the Economic Development Board (EDB), to enhance the conservation of mangroves, peatlands, and seagrass in Asia. The initiative aims to develop technologies for carbon storage estimation and improve sapling survival rates, addressing the significant loss of mangroves in Southeast Asia. Additionally, EDB is providing a grant for satellite and geospatial technologies to accurately measure carbon biomass, supporting Singapore's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
