With the largest mangrove forests for any major city in the world, Mumbai marked ‘International Day for Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystems’ on July 26 with awards to honour mangrove conservation groups and a discussion to find a solution to one the biggest threats to the forests – trash.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated July 26 as ‘International Day for Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystems’ in 2015. The ‘State of the World’s Mangroves 2024’, released on July 25 by the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA), a coalition of government and NGOs, along with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), provides an assessment of the latest scientific advancements and policy efforts to protect these valuable ecosystems.
