On this special day dedicated to the invaluable mangrove ecosystems, we are proud to share an inspiring message from Razan Al Mubarak, President of our esteemed partner, IUCN. These ecosystems are crucial for coastal protection, biodiversity, and combating climate change. Watch the video below and join us in celebrating and protecting these vital natural resources!

The MSC Foundation is proud to partner with the Municipality of Milan on the "Milan for Trees" project. In July 2023, a devastating storm destroyed thousands of plants across the city, with 40% lost on the streets and 60% in parks and green areas. As a response, we joined the call of the Municipality to nurture the city back to its former green nature. Our emergency relief initiative will fund the planting of 200 new trees this autumn in the iconic "Indro Montanelli Gardens," one of Milan's most cherished green spaces. With this project, we’re a step closer to restoring Milan’s natural beauty and supporting the city's recovery efforts.
