We continue to work on water restoration, opening more than 700 linear meters of canals in the project area to date. The work has been accomplished thanks to community support led by the women of the AMBAS Association.
This action aims to create appropriate conditions on the site so that the mangrove seedlings we plant during the rainy season can establish and develop there, thus restoring the natural vegetation of the mangrove forest.
At our restoration site, we are managing six tree species characteristic of salt marsh forests. These species are able to survive in flooded areas and with salinities that other plant species cannot withstand. These conditions allow these ecosystems to absorb more CO2 than terrestrial ecosystems, making them key allies against climate change.
