Apple<\/a> said it awarded a grant to AERF in 2021 to work with local community to protect a 2,400 hectare mangrove forest in the region, which provides an important buffer against the most dangerous impacts of climate change.
Through the partnership, AERF will enter into conservation agreements with local community members, offering support in exchange for conserving and protecting the mangroves on their land.
Apple and AERF seek to transition the local economy into one that relies on keeping mangroves intact and healthy.
“Our new partnership in India continues this momentum, helping a community benefit economically from the restoration of the mangrove forests that protect against the worst impacts of climate change,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives<\/a>.
Through the new partnership, AERF will also engage Conservation International to verify the climate benefits of the mangroves, accounting for the carbon sequestered in both the trees and soil.
In addition to protecting coastal communities from climate impacts like the unpredictable monsoons and rising tides that threaten the Raigad district, mangroves act as carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their soil, plants, and other sediments.
“Though mangrove conservation issues are diverse and different in each place, here in our project area, opportunities are also many. Training our young, enthusiastic team as well as local communities for blue carbon will surely help us travel a long way to achieve mangrove conservation in this vibrant coastal area along the Arabian Sea,” said Dr. Archana Godbole, director of AERF.
With support from Apple, Conservation International’s blue carbon finance project in Cispatá Bay, Colombia, was the first in the world to adequately and accurately measure not only the carbon that mangrove trees store in their trunks and leaves, but also what they sequester in their soil. This improved accounting enables communities to benefit from the full economic value of the ecosystems they sustain.
AERF will apply the learnings from the Colombia project to their work in Raigad, with plans to establish a model that can be scaled across India, according to a media statement.
In addition to protecting the existing mangroves in the area, Apple's grant supports the restoration of mangroves across a 50-hectare area where they have degraded, as well as the purchase and distribution of portable bio-stoves that allow people to cook without cutting down mangroves for firewood.
Apple will continue to focus on communities most impacted by climate change as it pursues its environmental goals. Through the company’s $200 million Restore Fund, launched last year with Conservation International and Goldman Sachs<\/a>, Apple will make investments in forestry projects that aim to remove carbon from the atmosphere while generating a financial return for investors.
Through its Power for Impact program, Apple provides under-resourced local communities around the world with access to renewable energy while supporting economic growth and social impact.
“All of these efforts are part of Apple’s broader goal to become carbon neutral across its entire global supply chain by 2030,” the statement added.

苹果的合作伙伴马哈拉施特拉邦非政府组织保护,保护红树林生态系统

苹果格兰特表示,授予2021年AERF与当地社区合作保护2400公顷红树林,它提供了一个重要的缓冲最危险的气候变化的影响。
通过合作,AERF将进入保护协议与当地社区成员提供支持,以换取保护和保护他们的土地上的红树林。
苹果和AERF寻求当地经济过渡到依靠保持红树林的完整和健康。
“我们的新伙伴关系在印度继续这种势头,帮助社区经济受益于红树林的恢复,防止气候变化的严重影响,”莉萨·杰克逊(Lisa Jackson)说,苹果公司的副总裁环境,政策,社会行动。
通过新的合作,AERF还将参与保护国际验证红树林的气候优势,占碳隐藏在树木和土壤。
除了保护沿海社区免受气候变化带来的影响不可预测的季风和潮汐上升威胁Raigad区,红树林作为碳汇,吸收大气中的二氧化碳并将其储存在土壤、植物和其他沉积物。
“虽然红树林保护问题是多样化的和不同的在每一个地方,在我们的项目区域,机会也很多。培训我们年轻、热情的团队以及当地社区的蓝色碳肯定会帮助我们走很长的路来实现红树林保护在这个充满活力的阿拉伯海沿岸地带,“AERF主任阿卡纳Godbole博士说。
在苹果公司的支持下,保护国际在Cispata湾的蓝色碳融资项目,哥伦比亚,是世界上第一个充分和精确测量不仅碳红树林树存储在树干和树叶,而且削减他们的土壤。这个改进会计使社区能够受益于经济价值生态系统的维持。
AERF将知识从哥伦比亚项目在Raigad他们的工作,并计划建立一个模型,该模型可以扩展在印度,据媒体声明。
除了保护该地区现有的红树林,苹果的赠款支持跨50-hectare恢复红树林地区退化,以及便携式bio-stoves的购买和分布,使人没有砍伐红树林的柴火做饭。
苹果将继续关注社区最受到气候变化的影响,因为它追求其环境目标。通过公司的2亿美元的重建基金,与保护国际和去年推出高盛(Goldman Sachs),苹果将在林业投资项目旨在消除大气中的碳而产生财务回报投资者。
通过其权力影响计划,苹果提供了资源不足世界各地的当地社区提供可再生能源在支持经济增长和社会影响。
“所有这些努力都是苹果的一部分目标实现碳中和其整个全球供应链,到2030年,”该声明补充道。
