Our Community Products
Since 2021, YAKOPI has been supporting communities across various regions, with a particular focus on the development of coastal and agroforestry-based products. YAKOPI’s support goes beyond the production stage, aiming to empower village-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to strengthen their competitiveness and expand their access to broader and global markets. Through capacity building, improved market access, and increased added value of locally sourced products, YAKOPI seeks to promote sustainable community livelihoods while maximizing the economic potential of coastal and agroforestry resources.

What We Are
We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to climate change mitigation and community empowerment through the restoration of ecosystems, particularly in coastal and mountainous regions, and the training of communities through the use of natural resources. Our programmes focus on restoration, education, monitoring, agroforestry, human resource development, green growth and biodiversity.
What We Do?
What We Do?
Restoration
Restoration helps to restore damaged or degraded ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands and coral reefs, which are important for biodiversity and can help reduce the risk of floods, landslides and storms.
Awareness
Our awareness-raising programmes aim to increase people’s understanding of environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity, encourage active participation in environmental protection efforts and support wise decision-making, promote creative thinking and solutions to environmental challenges, and prepare people for natural disasters and urgent environmental changes.
Livelihood
Livelihoods programmes are one way of achieving a balance between human well-being and environmental conservation, ensuring that communities can live sustainably while conserving natural ecosystems and building economies that are more resilient to environmental and global economic changes.
Research
Research helps us to better understand environmental issues, including causes, impacts and potential solutions, as well as innovative inventions that can address environmental challenges, such as green technologies and sustainable practices.

Mangrove Forest
Mangroves play an important role in protecting the coast from storms, waves, and wind. Strong winds and seawater intrusion can be mitigated by mangrove stands, which can protect settlements, buildings, and agriculture. Mangroves have also been shown to play an important role in storm protection. Mangrove roots can bind to and stabilize mud substrates, trees can reduce wave energy and slow currents, and vegetation as a whole can trap sediment (Davies and Claridge, 1993 and Othman, 1994).
