Nurturing Nature’s Guardians: A Guide to Mangrove Reforestation (Part 1) — Site Selection
Mangroves, often called “nature’s guardians of the coast” or “rainforests of the sea,” are remarkable ecosystems that straddle the boundary between land and sea, providing a myriad of ecological and socio-economic benefits. Yet, these coastal havens face threats like deforestation, pollution, and climate change-induced sea-level rise. To safeguard and rejuvenate these vital ecosystems, mangrove reforestation initiatives are crucial. In this multipart series, we embark on a journey to understand the intricacies of mangrove reforestation. We’ll begin with a close look at “site selection,” the first step in the process. Selecting the right location for planting sets the foundation for successful mangrove restoration efforts.
