Mangroves are in Danger

Mangroves are rare, spectacular and prolific ecosystems on the boundary between land and sea. Mangroves contribute to the wellbeing, food security, and protection of coastal communities worldwide. Mangroves also act as a form of natural coastal defense against storm surges, tsunamis, rising sea levels and erosion. Yet mangroves are disappearing three to five times faster than overall global forest losses.

In this episode, Oiza had a chat with Jerry Chidi, documentary photographer,  who is raising awareness on the importance of mangroves as unique, special and vulnerable ecosystems & promotes solutions for their conservation and use.
