Participatory strategy carried out with environmental, tourism, surveillance and tourism service providers, academics and researchers and civil organizations, which sets the actions and goals to be achieved for the conservation of the reproduction, births and breeding of the sea lion colony as the most precious conservation object of the protected area and the most important source of income for tourism service providers.

Geoversity is conceived as an ecosystem of individuals and organizations collaborating in the creation of biocultural leadership.

The ecosystem is nurtured by real places and conservation communities starting with the Mamoni Valley Reserve.

With the solution we highlight the importance of alliances and collaborations to achieve long-term success in forest conservation and preservation. Dialogue, community participation and the participation of the different actors play a very important role in the realization of the objectives and results.

We carry out and participate in local and international activities with the objective of finding potential candidates to become part of the ecosystem. Once they are part of the ecosystem, responsibilities and commitments are established, which generally turn into program funding, recommendations or probono professional services.

This management has two components:

• The Leadership component: aimed at young emerging leaders with a desire to be active agents in the creation of sustainable communities.
• The research component: aimed at scientists and students who wish to use the Mamoní Valley Reserve as a living laboratory for their scientific research.
• The leadership component works with calls for young people to participate in the different programs that we develop both in the reserve and in urban forests, and the research component works with collaboration agreements with universities and scientific institutions.

Protected areas in the urban context become an environmental determinant of land use planning and management, which, as higher-ranking norms, shield these spaces from changes that may be considered in relation to land uses other than the conservation and preservation of biodiversity and depend on political will for their management.

The relationship between stakeholders (institutional, citizen, academic, and private sector) allows the creation of administration and co-management mechanisms that respond to the needs of the protected area and the effective management within the framework of the execution of the Management Plans contributes to the environmental governance of the protected areas.

The guarantee of conservation of urban protected areas, beyond the technical and legal exercise of declaring them, is a robust process of social involvement. To this end, it has been essential to develop actions and strategies to promote recreation and environmental education around protected areas, expanding a collective awareness of the importance of their conservation, not only for biodiversity but also for the quality of life in the city.
The appropriation of socio-ecological concepts becomes a key factor in achieving the conservation objectives of protected areas. To the extent that stakeholders are committed to and recognize the values and ecosystem services that these types of spaces provide for the sustainable development of cities, the permanence of these spaces over time is guaranteed in desirable conditions for the conservation of biodiversity and amenity, enjoyment, well-being, and physical and mental health for all.

Char is carbonized organic matter that is produced by pyrolysis.

Biochar is char used for biotechnology, such as in agriculture.

Charcoal is char used as fuel.

Biochar has some important properties:

1. Resistance against biological and chemical decomposition, so it lasts in soil for centuries and can be used to store atmospheric carbon.
2. A high surface area
3. Negatively charged surfaces and some positive charges with can hold soluble plant nutients such as nitrogen and potassium and other minerals.

In Bangladesh, the soils are often low in soil organic matter, because the warm-humid climate and agricultural tillage promote organic matter breakdown.   Soil that are low in organic matter become hard and open pore space.  Crop growth can be severely limited.

Given the excellent climate from growing crops, improving the organic matter in Bangladeshi soils can have profound results.  Biochar can do this because it doesn't break down.  Instead, it combines with manures, composts and soil organic matter to from new, stable humus.

By increasing soil organic matter there is:

1. An increase in soil crumbs and large pore space
2. Increased aeration
3. Increased water penetration
4. Increased plant-available water
5. Increased soil life
6. Increase root growth and crop yield.

Planetary health examines the ways in which human health is impacted by human-caused disruptions to the Earth’s natural systems. Within that definition is a feedback loop. Anthropogenic environmental changes affect the health of people. At the same time, the way people interact with the natural environment is influenced by their physical, social, and mental well-being and their economic security. This loop reiterates the interconnectedness of human health and environmental systems. It introduces the possibility of designing win-win planetary health solutions that recognize that a change in one system can trigger positive shifts within another. Ecological levers for public health are interventions in the ecosystem or conservation space that have positive outcomes for human health.

Godrej Infotech Limited  (GITL) is part of Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd. It is specialised in software development. It was commissioned by Wetland Management Department (WMS) for Mangroves app development. GITL received information, images, app framework, concept note and other guidence from WMS. GITL developed app and provided to WMS Dept. WMS Department piolt tested app with select stakeholders and received users feedback. This feedback was incorporated to finalise app information, design and user features. 

Wetland Management Services Department of Godrej & Boyce Mfg Co Ltd conceptualised mobile app. It compiled required information, images and got validation from subject experts. It facilitated translation of app to 10 languages. It disseminated the app nationally & internationally
