Why partner with us

Built on real partnerships, not just good intentions

Twende works through partnerships because restoration is bigger than any one organisation. We welcome relationships that move restoration from isolated activities to durable programmes, wherever there is a clear shared purpose.

What we are looking for

Relationships that are built to last, with people who share the purpose.

  • A clear shared purposeRestoration that is community-led, evidence-led and built to last.
  • A long-term commitmentProgramme partnerships run for three to five years, because durable outcomes need durable relationships.
  • A documented relationshipWe never present a relationship as confirmed, funded or endorsed until it is documented.
  • Respect for community ownershipLocal groups and Community Forest Associations steward every site.

Why it matters

Why blue carbon ecosystems matter

Restoring mangrove, seagrass and coastal wetland ecosystems delivers benefits that reach well beyond carbon.

Coastal protection

Defence against storm surge and erosion.

Carbon sequestration

Many times faster than tropical forests.

Fisheries habitat

Nursery habitat that sustains local fisheries.

Community income

Work through nursery, training and enterprise.
