If you are sitting in the UK, looking across at the Tangerine Tyrant's bypassing of democratic scrutiny by using a wide range of executive orders, and thinking 'well thank god that won't happen here'.... think again.

The push for "mangrove-positive action" is growing, with businesses seeing the value of healthy mangrove ecosystems. Exciting community-led initiatives in Southeast Maluku, Indonesia, and Belize show us the way forward. https://www.mangrovealliance.org/news/mobilizing-mangrove-positive-action-for-the-worlds-coasts

Mobilizing Mangrove-Positive Action for the World’s Coasts

A growing shift in private-sector thinking is encouraging businesses to recognize the economic and environmental benefits of conserving mangroves, leading to the emerging concept of “mangrove-positive” action.
