We Need Mangroves

Mangrove forests are threatened throughout tropical regions of the world. These special ecosystems provide coastal protection, store more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as tropical upland forests, are home to more than 3,000 species of fish, are tourism hotspots, and provide economic opportunities worth over $800 billion per year. This story follow the efforts of AgroFrontera and their work to protect mangroves from illegal harvest and agricultural runoff.

Was good to see how those interactions can go. Hopefully will help fishing in the open seasons to be better and more productive

I went to a mangrove forest in India. So lush and beautiful, and so many ecosystems within. I saw plenty of birds, crabs, and even spider nests. I got scared at first but then you look deeper and it actually looks really cool. I just would never walk inside 🥲
