Jalan-jalan to Mangrove Conservation – Carbon Zero Project
August 23, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Do you know that Mangroves can store up to 10 times as much carbon as terrestrial forests?
There’s a fresh nature-based carbon project in town, and she’s getting attention from corporations with ambitious net-zero goals. Her name? Mangroves are a type of tree species and coastal forest ecosystem native to the tropics and subtropics.
Mangroves in Bali are a vital part of the coastal ecosystem.
The removal of large areas of mangroves for industrial purposes can significantly alter these precious coastal ecosystems. This can have a broader effect on the community, threatening vital clean water sources, tourist industries, and the food supplies on which we rely. In addition to this, the root system of a mangrove forest serves to stabilize the coastline, providing protection from storm surges. Being a small archipelago made up of 17,000 islands, Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels or intense tropical storms linked to Global Warming.
