Madagascar’s mangrove forests provide important ecosystem services, reducing flood risk and sustaining fisheries.

@WWF_mada is working to restore hundreds of thousands of hectares of mangroves.

Community leader José Nevárez Rivera’s goal is to return the land to its pre-agricultural state.

He views it as supporting a Puerto Rican culture in which humans work with nature to protect their own societies. #GlobalMangroveDay

Mangrove restoration is labor-intensive work, requiring dedication and creativity to foster healing and regrowth. The WWF @EnviroDM found inspiration in the work that @paralanaturalez and their community are doing to adapt for a more positive future. https://t.co/Ykn9pB6QGy

Alcides Morales described a vision of the riverbank, transformed. “I want to give back the jungle this place used to have,” he said.

Through its mangrove restoration initiative, @paralanaturalez works with communities to reduce flood risk on Puerto Rico’s north coast.

Emergency shelter helps people recover after disasters.

For a resilient recovery, it’s critical to build shelter in a sustainable way.

Proactively addressing environmental issues helps avoid deforestation, desertification, & soil erosion.

#WorldEnvironmentDay @ShelterCluster

[WWF Environment and Disaster Management @EnviroDM]

More and more displacement is taking place in cities.

To recover with resilience after disasters, it’s crucial for humanitarians to account for environmental issues.

Tools such as Urban NEAT+ can help.
