As the world marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, established by UNESCO, communities continue to play a vital role in ensuring mangrove ecosystems remain healthy. Protecting these ecosystems not only safeguards biodiversity but also improves the livelihoods of people who depend on them.
At Mida Creek, the local community, led by the Site Support Group, Arabuko Sokoke Forest Adjacent Dwellers Association (ASFADA), with other stakeholders planted 6,000 mangrove seedlings in celebration of this important day.
This year's official theme is, Healthy Mangroves for Sustainable Blue Economy and Climate Resilience.
