Mangrove Conservation

Mangrove conservation involves protecting and preserving coastal forests of salt-tolerant trees called mangroves, which grow where land meets the sea. These ecosystems are vital because they provide habitat for diverse wildlife, protect shorelines from erosion and storm surges, filter pollutants, and support local fishing and livelihoods. Conservation efforts include restoring damaged mangroves, preventing illegal logging, establishing protected areas, and raising awareness about their importance. Healthy mangroves are critical for maintaining coastal resilience and biodiversity, making their preservation essential for environmental stability and community well-being.
