Brand Partner Mangrove Planting: Baja, Mexico

Is this a gift? Use our Gift Tree Planting card.

With your support ($1 per tree planted) - we work with local communities in Mida Creek, Watamu Kenya to plant mangrove SeaTrees to restore coastal ecosystems.

This project restores 100+ hectares of degraded mangrove forest within the Malindi Watamu National Marine Park and Reserve - a UNESCO Designated Biosphere Area + one of the world’s oldest Marine Protected Areas.

Every mangrove you help to plant:

• Provides sustainable employment and generates economic opportunities for the communities in the Mida Creek area. Community members are then able to provide meals to their families, pay for school fees, and gain access to health care with wages earned through mangrove nursery management.
• Helps to protect Mida Creek from storm-surges and sea-level rise
• Creates critical habitat for threatened species including Green sea turtles.
• Helps protect the surrounding coral reefs from sediment runoff
• Sequesters carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.

With your support ($2 per tree planted) - we work with our project partners WILDCOAST to plant 100,000 mangrove trees across 25 acres of mangrove habitat with the help of the local community members in the El Datil region of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja, Mexico.

This project provides living-wage employment and training opportunities for the local community, empowers gender equity, protects the area from increased climate change impacts, and safeguards critical habitats for several vulnerable species.
At the heart of this project is a local group of women, “Mujeres de El Dátil,” who were trained in 2019 by WILDCOAST on mangroves environmental services, seedlings collection and planting techniques, as well as monitoring and maintenance of restored sites.

Every mangrove you help to plant:

• Provides living-wage employment to the local community.
• Improves the livelihoods of   250+ inhabitants of El Dátil. 
• Trains 11+ women in project management and monitoring.
• Protects local areas and communities from sea-level rise and increased storm surges.
• Safeguards critical gray whale nursery habitat.

We’ll be planting your mangrove SeaTrees in the Biak Region of West Papua in Indonesia. Specifically, we’re planting on a small island called Padaido. Every 10 mangrove trees planted:

• creates approximately 1/2 day of living-wage employment for local community members, helping to support 55 families
• provides resources for local education
• protects local villages from storm surges and sea-level rise
• serves as critical nursery grounds for fish and shellfish, and increases local marine productivity
• has the potential to sequester more than 3 metric tons of carbon dioxide over the 25 year life of the trees
