Mangrove Restoration in Zanzibar: Nature's Climate Shield

Why Mangroves Matter

In the turquoise waters and sandy shores of Zanzibar, mangrove forests stand as a vital natural defense—protecting coastlines, capturing carbon, and nurturing marine life. Yet, these ecosystems are under threat.

• Coastal Erosion
• Biodiversity Loss
• Climate Instability

But there’s hope—and it starts with restoration.

Our Mission: Regrow, Reclaim, Restore

We work with local communities, scientists, and global partners to restore degraded mangrove forests and protect what remains. Our mission is rooted in:

• Ecosystem Protection
• Community Empowerment
• Climate Action

Impact at a Glance

• Over 250,000 mangroves replanted across Unguja and Pemba
• 300+ local women and youth trained in eco-livelihoods
• Restoration of over 80 hectares of marine nurseries

How Mangroves Help Fight Climate Change

Mangroves capture up to 4x more carbon than tropical rainforests. They act as carbon sinks, locking away greenhouse gases and helping regulate the planet’s climate. Protecting them means protecting our future.
