This little guy is a mudskipper—part fish, part land explorer.

Found in healthy mangrove ecosystems like those in Madagascar, mudskippers can breathe through their skin and even “walk” on land using their fins.

Their presence is a great sign that the mangroves are thriving.

Mangrove propagules are planted vertically in muddy ground, mimicking their natural process.

This helps them anchor securely, allowing roots to penetrate the soil and shoots to reach sunlight.

This method ensures high survival rates and supports the rapid growth of thriving mangrove

Mangrove trees provide a unique advantage in reforestation efforts with their easily accessible seedlings, known as propagules.

These propagules grow directly on the tree and can be harvested once they mature, ready to plant immediately without additional preparation.

This natural

Here’s a sneak peek at how the seedlings are thriving! We’re thrilled with their progress so far—in just a few years, they’ll grow into full mangroves, helping to restore Madagascar’s coastlines.

A glimpse of the Kandrany planting site before the tiny mangrove seedlings were planted.

These small crabs play a vital role in the mangrove ecosystem, helping to maintain soil health and support biodiversity. Their presence is a sign of a healthy, thriving coastal environment.

We have observed several caterpillars within our planting sites, signaling an improvement in the area's biodiversity.

Mangroves are fascinating. Did you know that these trees are capable of filtering up to 90% of salt from seawater? this allows them to thrive in salty conditions where other trees cannot.

Mangrove reforestation projects are vital to recover areas that have been degraded or destroyed. These projects not only help to restore the biodiversity and ecosystem services associated with mangroves but also enhance their capacity to act as carbon sinks.

Mangroves are pretty amazing when it comes to growing up. If you plant one, it doesn't take forever to see it become a big, strong mangrove tree. In just about 5 to 15 years, these tough plants can go from tiny seedlings to fully grown trees, standing tall and creating a home for

Though it's a muddy task, planting mangroves opens up job opportunities for local communities. It's not just about getting hands dirty; it's about rejuvenating the land and empowering the people who live there with meaningful work and restored environments.

Mangrove ecosystems are super important! They're like nature's superheroes, protecting coastlines from storms and erosion, providing homes for tons of fish and birds, and even helping to clean our air by storing carbon. These unique trees are a key piece in keeping our oceans and

Mangrove planting is best conducted during the wet season when the saturated soil allows for easier insertion of the propagules and optimal water availability for root establishment. The effort is demanding but essential, carried out in thick mud.

Captured here is the growth of mangrove seedlings, a few months after planting. These young plants are the beginning of what will become a thriving mangrove forest.

Planting day in Madagascar: our local teams work to restore coastlines, one mangrove at a time. Their hard work is essential for protection against erosion.
