The mangrove comeback is driven by global restoration efforts. The Global Mangrove Alliance has released a collection of policy case studies from 16 nations, showcasing successful strategies. Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana are among the countries benefiting from these initiatives, with habitat.org detailing specific projects in these regions.

Quick answers
What are mangroves?

Why are mangroves important for climate mitigation?
Mangroves sequester large amounts of carbon, helping to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. They also protect coastlines from storm surges and erosion, which can help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
What is the Global Mangrove Alliance?
The Global Mangrove Alliance is a coalition of organizations working to conserve and restore mangrove forests worldwide. They focus on policy advocacy, research, and on-the-ground restoration projects.
