Thank you for the progress photos

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.

Amazing 🥰

Did you know?

Mangroves can survive in saltwater by filtering out up to 90% of the salt through their roots—or excreting it through their leaves. It’s one of the reasons they thrive along Madagascar’s coasts where few other trees can.

#EnvironmentalAwareness

Our community at Usambara Biodiversity Conservation Project are growing up in a climate crisis, surrounded by news of rising temperatures, droughts, floods, and disappearing wildlife. But when they plant trees, they become environmentalists, working to create a greener future.

Good news

Environmental degradation and gender inequality stem from shared dominant power structures. Gender equity and women’s empowerment are deeply embedded in all our work and are essential to sustainable climate solutions.

The seedlings she holds are young propagules collected from mature mangrove trees, ready to be planted directly into the coastal soil to take root and thrive.

Ensuring equal access to resources, training, and decision-making empowers communities,

I wonder if there are any mangrove projects in Mexico we can plant on. We are...

Mangrove forests are vital for coastal stability, biodiversity, and carbon storage, acting as a natural barrier against storms and erosion.

Fun fact: Mangroves can filter up to 90% of salt from seawater before absorbing it, allowing them to thrive in harsh coastal environments where
