Description:

Why Mangroves?Mangroves are one of the most important and productive ecosystems on earth, providing a host of invaluable ecosystem goods and services to local people and the wider world.Mangrove Action Project (MAP) is a US-based nonprofit which collaborates with individuals and organizations at all levels to preserve, conserve, and restore our world s mangrove forests.By working with forest communities, research academics, forest and environment departments, policy makers, and international funding bodies, we encourage the preservation and conservation of existing mangroves.We educate how to restore degraded or unhealthy mangrove ecosystems and encourage younger generations to take an active interest in their local mangroves forests. Why do we do this? Because healthy mangroves can provide coastal communities, particularly the poorest, with a sustainable living and reduce their vulnerability to disasters from natural events such as hurricanes and storm surges. Mangroves also provide other benefits to the rest of the world, including sequestering and storing more carbon than any other forest type.Mangrove Photography Awards 2020View 41 Incredible winning photos and shortlistsThe Mangrove Photography Awards mangroves 2020 gives us a fascinating insight into the world of mangroves from all corners of the earth.
