On July 12, HWPL joined hands with the Fiji Red Cross Society in Tavua, the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG), and the One Nation One People Youth Club (ONOP) to hold a special campaign under the theme “Peace and Climate Action.” The venue was Ralulu Street in Tavua.

In just three hours, young volunteers planted 300 mangrove seedlings, creating a 120-meter “living seawall.” At the same time, they collected 180kg of waste from coastal areas and drainage canals. This was more than just cleaning up—it also eliminated mosquito breeding grounds that spread dengue fever 🦟.

Fiji is one of the nations most affected by rising sea levels, with an annual rate of 7.95 mm—almost twice the global average 🌊. Over the past two decades, more than 120 hectares of protective mangroves have been lost due to tourism development and typhoons, worsening coastal erosion and reducing fish resources.

To respond, Fiji’s Climate Change Act of 2021 made mangrove restoration a national priority. This campaign aligned with that law and gave local youth a chance to build resilience. Experts stressed that mangroves store up to four times more carbon than terrestrial forests and can reduce wave energy by 66% within ten years. Every tree planted became a living shield 🌱✨.

Every participant said they would gladly join peace education programs in the future. The Cambodian Embassy expressed strong support for HWPL’s mission and offered to collaborate more. That’s what happens when peace meets kindness. 💡
