MANGROVE SUBMIT
Mangrove ecosystems are among the world's most productive coastal ecosystems, providing essential ecological services such as biodiversity conservation, shoreline protection, fisheries production, carbon sequestration and climate regulation. Mangroves are among the most valuable ecosystems on earth. They protect our coasts, support wildlife, sustain livelihoods and help fight climate change. Healthy mangroves mean a healthier planet and a better future for all.
Cameroon possesses approximately 200,000–220,000 hectares of mangroves, making it one of the most important mangrove countries in Africa. Within this national landscape, the Tiko Mangrove Ecosystem, located within the Cameroon Estuary Complex, represents one of the country's most ecologically significant coastal environments. However, rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, infrastructure development, marine pollution, unsustainable harvesting, climate change and competing land uses continue to threaten the ecological integrity of the Tiko mangrove ecosystem.
Recognizing these realities, Women for Environment (WOMEV) in partnership with other organizations, organized a two days Tiko Mangrove Summit (TMS) 2026, under the theme: Strengthening Partnerships for the Sustainable Protection and Restoration of Mangrove Ecosystems along the Coast of Cameroon; from 21st to 22nd August 2026 at Tiko.
Day One involved Cleanup campaign at the Tiko beaches while on day Two, we had the Conference, dialogue and partnerships engagement at the CMPJ Hall Tiko

The celebration kicked off with an energetic sports walk from the Independence Square popularly known as Bongo Square to the Pan African Institute for Development (PAID-WA) where the rest of the celebration took place. Among the other slots of the celebration was a dialogue phase in which the actors were engaged in a powerful panel discussions on local humanitarian action. with the topic "Rethinking Safety and Access for Humanitarians in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon".We also enjoyed the exhibition phase where some organizations showcased their products. This celebration as usual created a Synergy where actors were bonded over exciting sports activities and networking with fellow changemakers.
As an organization dedicated to Women, Peace and the Environment, we know that environmental justice is humanitarian justice. When we protect our planet and empower women, we build resilient communities.
Let us keep standing up for those who serve. Let us continue to act while alive. In WOMEV we believe that when the environment breathes, PEACE abound. Happy World Humanitarian Day 2026 to us all.
