Have you ever wanted to
Have you ever wanted to plant a whole forest? Gather up together with like-minded people and spend the day planting new life and prosperity? Mangroves are the trendiest tree in the world nowadays. Not only because it is easy to plant and it can easily attract many younger people to participate in the reforestation, but also because they play a huge role in the ecosystem and eventually in the life of people.
Mangroves bring life. It is that simple. You can see that for yourself. Let's take a look at the benefits it brings.
- It is home to loads of wildlife, both fish and birds. As soon as the forest is restored, life comes back to the region as well. We hope we don't need to explain the importance of fish to people, right? In brief - no fish, no sushi.
- It compensates for the salinity, saltiness of the waters, thus protecting the soil from erosion and making sure, that the soil in the region is healthy and fertile.
- Mangroves also serve as an economic benefit for the population - the oysters love to grow on the roots of these magnificent trees. Have you tried Senegalese oysters? They are delicious.
And much much more.
It is great to see that Oceanium in Senegal, founded by the legendary ecologist Haidar el Ali, manages to organize hundreds of young people to go out there and plant a whole forest. It is heartwarming to see be united around a common goal. And this enthusiasm allows them to plant over a million trees every year.
