'Half of all the world’s mangrove forests are at risk of collapse, according to the first-ever expert assessment of these crucial ecosystems and carbon stores.' bit.ly/3VaeNuK

Coastal oceans are crucial carbon sinks for fighting climate change and meeting Paris Agreement goals. New research highlights the importance of seaweed forests, the largest coastal vegetated ecosystem, in carbon sequestration. go.nature.com/44VgC1U

Forests are crucial for addressing the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. US.1t.org aims to mobilize and empower the global reforestation community to conserve, restore, and grow one trillion trees by 2030 for the benefit of people, biodiversity, and the planet.

The need to preserve mangroves and the ecosystem services they sustain, while also providing for the social and economic needs of the people who depend on them, is one of coastal conservation’s greatest conundrums.
