Join us in supporting the ‘Mangrove Man’

As part of our ARO response the Praxis team are supporting the vision of Roy (aka ‘Mangrove Man’) to engage local young people in replanting 20,000 mangroves along the southern coastline and estuaries of Papua New Guinea.

Mangroves store large amounts of carbon, they are also a breeding ground for wildlife and protect the coastline from storm surges, more info here: https://theconversation.com/mangroves-protect-coastlines-store-carbon-and-are-expanding-with-climate-change-81445 . Seedlings are sourced from the local area and replanted in areas where the mangroves are being depleted. The project provides some income for local young people and helps to raise community awareness that the mangroves are best left where they are (rather than being chopped down for firewood).
