SESDO (Social & Environmental Sustainable Development Org.)

SESDO (Social & Environmental Sustainable Development Organization) is a grassroots, community-based nonprofit organization in Bangladesh working in the climate-vulnerable coastal region of the Sundarbans. Established in 2017, we focus on ecosystem restoration, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods for marginalized communities. Our work addresses urgent climate challenges such as cyclones, salinity intrusion, flooding, and biodiversity loss that severely affect coastal populations. We implement community-led initiatives using nature-based solutions, especially CBEMR, environmental education, and livelihood support programs. Our approach integrates local knowledge with scientific restoration methods to strengthen long-term coastal resilience. SESDO actively engages youth, women, and vulnerable households as leaders in restoration and climate action, promoting biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience in the Sundarbans region of Bangladesh.
