International Day for the Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystem. Wildlife Trust of India SBI Foundation #SBIF_CONSERW
On this International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, we highlight the critical role mangroves play in protecting our planet. These unique coastal forests shield shorelines from storms and erosion, provide vital habitats for diverse marine and wildlife, and act as powerful carbon sinks, helping to mitigate climate change. Despite their importance, mangroves are threatened by deforestation, coastal development, and climate impacts. Under the thematic area of Aranya, SBI Foundation’s CONSERW vertical is taking up measures to restore ecosystems across India. The Foundation has partnered with the Wildlife Trust Of India and the People's Action for Development to restore mangroves in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In Kerala, where over 50% of mangroves are privately owned, the partnership with the Wildlife Trust Of India, is combating the decline by restoring 30 acres of habitat with 200,000 saplings and seeds. This includes a modern nursery and research for broader restoration in Kerala and Odisha. In Punnakayal, Tamil Nadu, the Foundation and the People's Action for Development are addressing the degradation of 250 hectares of wetlands by planting 400,000 mangrove seedlings and promoting environmental education among local communities.
