Today we celebrate the International Day for the Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystems, launched by UNESCO in 2016. to draw attention to the immense importance of these species-rich habitats. Mangroves, like those in our present image on the beach of the Indonesian island of Sumba, are tropical trees and shrubs, that grow in coastal regions and play a crucial role in global climate protection. These extraordinary survival artists bind large amounts of CO2, protect coasts from erosion and storm surges, and provide habitat for numerous animal species such Crabs and birds. Unfortunately, mangroves are severely threatened – by land use, pollution and rising sea levels. Organisations such as the WWF or the German Marine Foundation are actively committed to their conservation, but we can all contribute to their protection. by paying attention to sustainable products or supporting reforestation projects.
