International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem

In coastal Tamil Nadu, 10,000 villagers joined hands with forest officials to revive the state’s largest mangrove forest. Using ancient knowledge and scientific design, they restored 2,057 hectares of dying wetlands—bringing back biodiversity, fish, and hope. This is the powerful story of nature’s comeback, led by the people who need it most.
