Buruk Bakul Mangrove

Mangrove Buruk Bakul, located in Buruk Bakul Village, Bukit Batu District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau, is a remarkable and inspiring ecotourism destination. This coastal area has undergone an extraordinary transformation thanks to the dedication of the Sekat Bakau Community, which has been independently restoring the mangrove ecosystem damaged by coastal erosion since 2020. With approximately 200 hectares remaining, this site serves as a living testament to local communities' struggle against climate change and coastal environmental degradation. Visitors can witness firsthand the extraordinary conservation efforts, where more than 27,000 mangrove seedlings have been planted across five strategic locations covering four hectares. The uniqueness of this area lies not only in the beauty of the mangrove forest that is beginning to flourish, but also in its tangible ecological impact - the return of various marine life such as shrimp, crabs, and shellfish that had previously disappeared. Tourists can enjoy educational activities such as mangrove seedling planting, visiting nursery facilities, and learning about processed mangrove products like chips and kedabu syrup produced by the local community. Beyond its conservation value, Mangrove Buruk Bakul offers an authentic tourism experience with stunning coastal scenery and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection. This area serves as a real example of how local communities can actively participate in environmental conservation while developing sustainable economies.
