Vilifying communities that rely on mangroves doesnโ€™t serve to protect them.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ On the contrary, for Ecuador's mangrove custody program, fishers are not the problem - they are the solution.

For 26 years now, artisanal crab catchers in the Gulf of Guayaquil have protected 98K hectares of mangroves through community concessions.

๐Ÿฆ€They harvest sustainably while serving as guardians - conducting patrols, reporting threats, and enforcing seasonal closures.

And it works: After losing 27% of mangroves between the 1970s and 1990s to shrimp farming and development, Ecuador's mangrove coverage has managed to remain stable since 1999.

|| Today, we join the global call to protect one of the most critical and vulnerable ecosystems in our natural landscape: our mangroves. ๐ŸŒฑ

Declared by UNESCO in 2015, this observance brings global attention to the essential role mangroves play in climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and the well-being of coastal communities.

But even as their value becomes clearer, the threats to their survival, land conversion, pollution, and neglect persist.

In the Philippines, where thousands of coastal families depend on healthy mangrove forests, the call to conserve them is not just a policy, but a promise to protect life, livelihoods, and the future of our shorelines.

This rainy season is when we need mangroves the most.โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

READ: In urban areas like Metro Manila, the remaining mangroves play a crucial role in reducing the risk of inland flooding. The Las Piรฑasโ€“Paraรฑaque Wetland Park (LPPWP), Metro Manilaโ€™s last remaining mangrove forest, is legally designated as a critical habitat. It helps protect nearby areas against flooding and poor water quality by filtering sediments and heavy metals from Manila Bay. http://bit.ly/4f0b8Ib
