Why we chose to reforest Mangrove Trees
A Mangrove is a shrub or tree typically found near the equator, along coastlines and tidal rivers. However, they’re migrating further north as climate change continually transforms temperate zones to more tropical.
Mangrove forests are a type of rainforest, and studies show that pound for pound, they can sequester four times as much carbon as other forests. They are an integral part of our estuarine infrastructures, bridging the gap between our terrestrial and marine realms.
They’re unique in their ability to survive in salt and brackish (mix of salt and fresh) waters. They serve as natural water filtration systems and diminish the impact of storm surges during severe weather events, including tsunamis and hurricanes.
They’re a beautiful example of our vital symbiotic relationship with nature.
