I had the pleasure of representing Winrock International at the 2024 #SIDUSConference last Friday. Congratulations to the Society for International Development, United States (SID-US) for a successful event. It was great to see and reconnect with current and former colleagues who I have not seen since the pandemic. I really enjoyed meeting new faces and talking about Winrock and our organization’s mission. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and spent a good amount of time learning about us. We look forward to keeping in touch! ©️Mary Little

From filtering pollutants to ensuring food security for wildlife and local communities, mangroves play a crucial role in promoting biodiversity in Senegal. Protecting fish nurseries and preserving marine ecosystems like mangrove forests are important elements of the USAID Feed the Future Senegal Dekkal Geej activity. Implemented by Winrock, Dekkal Geej, which means “Restoring the Sea” in Senegal’s national language, develops and strengthens partnerships with communities including youth and women, businesses, and government to improve fishery management and ecological sustainability of stressed marine resources, with the overarching goal of improving food security. https://lnkd.in/gfX6S3EW #BiodiversityDay #ClimateSolutions #ClimateResilience #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #Localization #Senegal #NaturalResourceManagement
