A national-level workshop on MISHTI (Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats and Tangible Incomes) was held recently in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, bringing together forest officials, experts and key stakeholders to deliberate on sustainable mangrove conservation and restoration.

The workshop was inaugurated by Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Shri Pawan Kalyan, who acknowledged the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the support of Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Shri Bhupender Yadav in strengthening mangrove conservation efforts through the MISHTI scheme.
