πΏπ We're thrilled to share amazing milestones from our ongoing mangrove restoration and conservation project in Mozambique!
Over the past 3οΈβ£ years, the Nova SBE Environmental Economics Knowledge Center, together with incredible local communities, has successfully replanted 15 areas covering 18 hectares of vital mangrove forests! π³β¨ Despite the challenges of remote and hard-to-reach locations πΆβοΈπΆβοΈ, our dedicated teams have worked tirelessly to ensure the project's success. π
Why are mangroves so important? π€
- π Protect coastlines from erosion and storms
- π Support local fisheries by providing habitats for marine life
- π Sequester carbon, helping fight climate change
To sustain these efforts, we've established 10 mangrove nurseries nurturing approximately 6,000 plants! π±π± Working closely with community savings and credit groups πͺπ€, we provide incentives and training to help monitor and preserve these restored areas.π
But we're not stopping here! π We're committed to securing additional funding π° to expand our impact and ensure the project's long-term sustainability. With continued support, we aim to amplify the positive effects on both the environment and the economic well-being of the communities involved. π€β€οΈ
