In Indonesia, the vulnerability of coastal erosion is driving coastal villages to initiatecommunity-driven efforts to rehabilitate mangrove forests that protect againsterosion. Analyzing data from a survey of 75 coastal villages, this study identifiesfactors that are encouraging or constraining communities to initiate their ownmangrove-planting programs. Results show that communities with higher levels ofshrimp HYV adoption were more likely to plant mangroves, which implies that sometechnologies can increase the value of ecosystem services that mangroves provide. Inaddition, villages with aquaculture farmer cooperatives were 35% more likely toreplant mangroves, and villages with the ability to impose sanctions were 36% morelikely to plant mangroves. The capacity of local governing bodies to coordinate effortsthrough farmer cooperatives and enforce compliance with a credible threat ofsanctions is critical in carrying out mangrove-planting programs at the village level.
