Our favourite trees: Rhizophora species

Where the earth meets the sea resides a botanical wonder. The ‘true mangroves’ – Rhizophora – stand as nature’s resilient guardians along the world’s tropical coastlines, weaving a living tapestry through estuaries and bays.

What is reforestation?

Life as we know it can’t survive without forests. As the lungs of our planet, their leaves are responsible for absorbing over 7 billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere every year, which they store in their branches and root systems.

How do WeForest’s projects support community resilience?

It’s no good restoring a forest if the surrounding communities still need to use it for firewood or to produce charcoal unsustainably, which is an essential household necessity or source of income for many of the communities we work with.
