On Feb 15 2024, volunteers from Transworld celebrated World Wetlands Day, emphasizing the importance of wetlands. They cleaned up beaches and lakes, restored mangroves, and educated the community about wetland significance. Wetlands purify water, regulate climate, support biodiversity, and provide leisure and cultural benefits. Collective action is needed to protect these ecosystems. Transworld Group's dedication reflects their commitment to marine conservation. Wetlands are vital in fighting climate change, preserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable development, so we must recognize and protect them.
PENRO Negros Occidental celebrated World Wetlands Day early by hanging tarpaulins, planting 500 mangrove propagules, and collecting 18 sacks of garbage, mostly single-use plastics. They promote clean wetlands and emphasize the importance of environmental conservation. Collaboration is key in resolving environmental disputes. Let's love and care for our environment.
Antara River Cruises has launched Antara Catamarans for exploring the Bhitarkanika mangrove wetland in Odisha. These sustainable vessels offer a unique 3-night/4-day cruise experience in India's second largest mangrove forest, allowing passengers to discover wildlife sanctuary, visit local villages and temples. Priced at INR 25,000 per person per night on twin sharing, the catamarans are the first hybrid solar electric and fuel-powered cruise in India, showcasing the company's commitment to environmental protection.
Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and coral reefs play a vital role in helping coastal communities adapt to climate change and providing protection against storms. However, these habitats are facing severe threats. According to the Global Mangrove Alliance, half of the worlds mangroves have been
Coastal wetlands and coral reefs are key for climate resilience. But, they're at risk - half of mangroves gone, a third of reefs lost. UN Paris Agreement urges emissions reduction and climate adaptation. Blue carbon ecosystems (seagrass, mangroves, salt marshes) can help. Pew started project in 2019 for wetlands and coral reef protection. Partnerships with local groups, research institutions, and governments in Belize, Costa Rica, and Seychelles led to ambitious commitments. Pew plans to expand efforts in Caribbean, Latin America, and Western Indian Ocean to aid wetlands conservation.
Mangroves and wetlands help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon. Freshwater mangroves emit more methane than seawater mangroves. Preserving and restoring these ecosystems can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A study says mangroves and saltmarshes sequester carbon twice as effectively as previously believed. Mangroves capture and store carbon efficiently. Protecting wetlands and mangroves requires conservation efforts and involving local communities. Wetlands are disappearing due to agriculture and construction, but India is restoring them. Blue carbon ecosystems can significantly reduce emissions. A comprehensive approach including emission reduction, ecosystem restoration, and conservation is needed for effective climate change mitigation.
