There are three sessions being offered to encourage participation from people from around the globe. Tune in to find out more!

​WHY MANGROVES

​Mangroves are important. 200 million people around the globe rely on them both for food, and for protection from typhoons & hurricanes. They are considered among the planet’s most important habitats and can help mitigate the impacts of climate change because of their capacity to store large amounts of organic carbon — the soils they create are incredibly carbon rich. There is high potential for reforestation - both to sequester carbon, and to improve the wellbeing of rural, coastal communities.
