Concepts covered:mangroves, carbon credits, Ghazi Bay, Makoko Pamoja, climate change
Mangroves are crucial to tropical oceanic ecosystems, providing nursery habitats for marine species and acting as significant carbon stores, which help combat climate change. In Ghazi Bay, Kenya, a community-based project called 'Makoko Pamoja' is pioneering the protection of mangroves by selling carbon credits, offering a financial incentive to conserve these vital forests and benefiting local communities.
