Today is World Wetlands Day! 🌿
Mangroves are part of an incredible wetland ecosystem that people have managed and restored for eons. We’re sharing their expertise in our "Including Local Ecological Knowledge in Mangrove Conservation & Restoration Guide" https://t.co/3jr74HxYQX
We had over 200 people representing local communities, government, tourist operators, NGOs and academics in the 1st stakeholder consultation process towards the development of the National Mangrove Restoration Plan for Belize! Socioecological mangrove restoration is possible!

✨Our paper for the #BelizeBlueCarbon project is now live!✨
Head to https://t.co/UukPNiSLLi to read about Belize's national mangrove carbon stock: 25.7 Tg! So excited for Belize to implement this data into management and policy. Reach out to me if you want to chat🌱 1/3
