![“There are areas that have been destroyed by the [shrimp farm] company that can’t be reforested, seeing that it was excavated so deeply and flooded so badly, and became a swamp. No plants can survive. We are villagers with many limitations. But we will not give up on rehabilitating the area naturally. Will will defend the 1,000 acres mangrove forests in the middle of six villages, the G6. It shouldn’t be destroyed or taken by the company but given to the six villages to be passed down from this generation to the next.” - Mastupang Somoi, 58](https://www.macaranga.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Pitas_ShrimpFarm-3-300x169.jpg)
