Nowadays in Tonga there are actual work is done to replace trees that had been cut down severly , especially coastal vegetation such as Mangroves.
Mangroves are very vital coastal plants for Tonga and other Pacific Islands. Mangroves avoid land degradation, and protect the islands from eroding and from natural desasters. It is therefore important to replant more due to heavy deforestation done by few locals in Tonga currently.
Villages now hand in hand replant more mangroves , build fences around mangrove areas in Tonga and also band people from unwisely use mangroves at most coastal areas.
Ministry of Environment of Tonga actually run a program of replanting more mangroves on coastal areas that were cleared which become a habitat for mosqitoes and as well as pigs and other animals.

Hello,
I'm doing an analysis about environment in Tonga. I found your blog recently, and I think it's useful and very interesting!
Could you tell me more about your home area?
For example:
- Is tree cutting a big problem?
- How many trees (by approximate) are cut down every year?
- Does the Government/Ministry of Environment offer financial aid for planting more trees?
If you have time/interest to answer the questions, I would appreciate it very much :)
Thank you,
Yours,
Roob
