Hello, John! Do you know what the three environments pictured above have in common?
If you guessed that they all are home to mangroves, you're correct! These fascinating, salt-tolerant trees are found on 5 different continents and are necessary for protecting forests from climate change thanks to their carbon–storing abilities.
With World Mangrove Day on July 26, you can celebrate mangroves and discover the good that they do with our Mighty Mangroves photo essay. Inside, you will find stunning imagery paired with information about how WWF is supporting mangroves and those who rely on them right now.
