Where your tree is planted

Our planting supports the EarthLungs Mangrove Restoration Project at Mteza Creek, near Mombasa on Kenya's southern coast. The project replants degraded mangrove forest and employs people from the surrounding communities to run the nurseries, plant the seedlings and monitor how they establish.

Mangroves have been cleared across much of the tropics over the past forty years, largely for coastal development, shrimp farming and timber. Restoring them brings back the habitat and, just as importantly, the protection it gives the people living behind it.

Why mangroves

  • They hold the coastline together. Dense root systems slow erosion and take the force out of storm surges before they reach the shore.
  • They are fish nurseries. The submerged roots shelter juvenile fish, prawns and crabs, which supports the local fishing families who depend on them.
  • They lock carbon into the soil. Mangrove sediment stores carbon densely and holds it for a long time, which is why coastal restoration is treated as some of the most valuable replanting work there is.
  • They create paid work. Nurseries, planting and monitoring all provide employment in communities with few other reliable sources of income.
