#Mangroves are incredibly biodiverse coastal ecosystems found in tropical and subtropical regions. They play a crucial role in contributing livelihoods, safeguarding biodiversity, protecting us against the worst impacts climate change, and building resilient coastal communities for millions of people. Mangrove forests are vital in the race to a net zero world. With only 147,000 km2 of these unique ecosystems remaining -- we need to prioritise their protection and restoration for a healthier planet. 🌎 #WorldMangroveDay #WeNeedMangroves #WeNeedWetlands #ForNature via Wetlands International
