Description: The Livelihood workshop was co-organized by CIMB Foundation, Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia, Global Environment Centre and Mangrove Action Project- Indonesia. This workshop was attended primarily by local community fisherfolk, together with representatives of government agencies involved in the management of the Kuala Gula Wildlife Sanctuary and other community-based mangroves conservation organizations. All participants were engaged in hands-on learning about sustainable livelihood activities, through a series of practical and classroom lessons. It was a fruitful workshop where participants learnt how to process the mangrove-based products from Avicennia spp., Sonneratia spp., Acanthus spp.and Acrostichum spp.. This has been an important component to the existing SHB activities.
