RT @UNEP: 26 July is #MangroveDay!

Mangroves contribute to the wellbeing, food security, & protection of coastal communities. Yet, they are being lost at a rate of 3-5 times higher than other forests.

Discover their benefits #ForNature & humanity.

Mangroves are fast-growing and incomparably capable of storing carbon in their soils. Their forests thrive in salty waters, where their root systems form a barrier against erosion and provide a haven for wildlife. #MangroveDay https://t.co/OAAa8JvjGz

A first-of-its-kind approach to farming shrimp is disrupting the aquaculture industry.

This sustainable approach, piloted by @CI_Ecuador & @KonservasiID, could be essential to feed the planet, fight #climatechange, protect marine life AND support small farmers. #MangroveDay https://t.co/nYyGpJBGhO

Mangroves are carbon-storing superstars, but once lost they are difficult to restore. An innovative @conservacioncr effort to restore mangroves in Costa Rica’s Gulf of Nicoya could mean renewed hope for coastal ecosystems around the world. #MangroveDay https://t.co/SaXTe9r4Xz
