To you who should be VERY concerned.
Man and mangroves have a love hate relationship.
We love to have them, we hate to lose them!
What do we do when the mangroves are depleting at an alarming rate due to man’s insatiable desire for development? What do we do then when the demolished mangroves exacerbate the climate crisis?
We need an emergency solution! We need to re-plant! And we are inviting YOU along.
Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is launching a mangrove re-planting campaign at Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP). The 10-acres area has been degraded and approximately 40,000 trees need to be planted. This number of trees will be able to sequester approximately 6,600kg per year of carbon dioxide, playing a great role in reducing the impact of green-house gases. This project aims to create awareness and gather support NATIONWIDE towards understanding, caring and nurturing mangrove ecosystems and its importance.
The mangrove ecosystems are vital to the survival of BOTH human and marine species. A habitat for thousands of fishes, crustaceans and supporting many coastal communities around the world, they have helped us survive in more ways than many of us realise.
Just like our tropical rainforests.
Just like our coral reefs.
And just like them, THIS ecosystem is degrading…. at an astounding rate!
YOU can change this!
