Segara Anakan lagoon in Java’s Cilacap Regency, Ujung Alang Village was once covered in mangroves. In the 1990s, the region experienced massive deforestation, mostly because of land being converted for aquaculture ponds.
Before 1994, Ujung Alang was covered with mangrove forests. These trees were cleared by investors to make way for shrimp and milkfish ponds. This venture lasted just four years; by 1998, before the ponds had been abandoned leaving thousands of hectares mangrove forests had been cut down and turned into barren land. Deforestation of mangrove forests in Segara Anakan has led to a significant reduction in mangrove area and caused a decline in fish catches
In 2000, local communities decided to act, and made a plan to restore the mangroves cover with the support of government and other various supporters. In 2022, Trees4Trees began replanting over 7,600 mangroves together with local communities from the Tani Krida Wana Lestari farmer group.
