Funding the planting of 70,000 mangroves
25 March 2024
We’re excited to announce that Menzies has committed to fund the planting of 70,000 mangroves as part of the Million Mangroves project. 🌳
Known as ‘the wonder tree’, mangroves are estimated to store four times more carbon than a rainforest, making them a highly effective natural climate solution. By storing excess carbon, they help to reduce global warming as there is less carbon dioxide trapped in the atmosphere.
Mangrove regeneration also helps to stabilize coastlines, protecting them from storm surges and erosion, and provide homes for many varieties of fish, crab, and shrimp. 🐠
Run by climate impact partners the Million Mangroves project aims to deliver mangrove restoration to threatened coastal areas around the world including China, Kenya, Indonesia, and Mexico.
