You could help save mangroves today

Please help save mangrove trees. The ramifications of losing them would be unbearable, yet we are desperately in need of your support to stop that happening.

The level of destruction has been staggering. Since 1980 alone more than 20% of the world’s mangrove forests have been cleared, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Less than half the Earth’s original mangrove forest cover remains.

Their outsized role as climate regulators also means the consequence of clearing mangroves has an outsized climate impact: emissions from mangrove deforestation account for up to 10% of emissions from deforestation globally, despite these trees covering just 0.7% of Earth’s land.

By making a donation today you could help fight this crisis on two fronts – helping plant new mangrove saplings and helping protect the forests that remain undamaged. So please, donate to Fauna & Flora today.
