Mangrove ecosystems are powerful natural carbon sinks, storing large amounts of carbon in the ground. One lesser-known component of this storage is “black carbon,” a stable form of carbon that can remain locked in soil for long periods. Mangrove environments help trap and preserve this carbon, strengthening their role in regulating climate and protecting coastal ecosystems. Action Now: https://t.co/uVnQCIZBeZ

Some forests store far more carbon than others. Old-growth forests, which have developed over long periods without major disturbance, can hold large carbon reserves in their trees and soil. These ecosystems also support rich biodiversity and stable ecological processes. Protecting mature forests plays an important role in maintaining long-term carbon storage and ecological balance.

The Isha Neeru pilot watershed development project was launched in Chikkaballapura, Karnataka. The initiative also included a training program for farmers from nearby villages, where scientists from Krishi Vigyan Kendra shared practical insights on scientific tree plantation practices. With hope and a shared vision, this pilot watershed seeks to become a model, not only for Chikkaballapura and Karnataka, but for the entire country.
