🌱 Bringing Mangroves Back to Life in Capalonga, Philippines! 🌱 We’re thrilled to be backing Wovoka and the Capalonga Mangrove Development Association as one of our Pilot Projects in their work to restore 932 hectares of mangroves and breathe new life into abandoned fish ponds. Mangroves do it all—they capture carbon, protect coastlines, and support local communities. But they’re up against threats like deforestation and illegal fishing, making it hard to reap those benefits.. The team is moving forward with plans to design high-quality blue carbon projects and secure carbon credits that help local communities better manage their lands. Catch Ginny Tiongson in the video below to hear more about this amazing project! 👇 Let’s keep building a future where people and nature thrive together. 💪🌊 #FairCarbon #BlueCarbon #MangroveRestoration

READ Wovoka's advocacy paper for COP16! As traditional funding sources for conservation fall short, we need innovative financial mechanisms to tackle biodiversity loss. 💡 One promising solution is biodiversity credits—similar to carbon credits, but focused on investing in the restoration and protection of ecosystems. At COP 16, it’s crucial to establish a clear framework with strong standards to prevent greenwashing and ensure that investments result in real, measurable improvements. Only then can these credits truly support the Global Biodiversity Framework and empower communities that need resources the most. Done right, biodiversity credits can help bridge the funding gap and support sustainable development. * * * Check out our advocacy paper found in the comments below! #biodiversitycredits #COP16Colombia #BLOOM24 #mangroves #naturebasedsolutions #conservation #carboncredits #biodiversity
