SAVE THE MANGROVES, SAVE THE OCEAN
Mangroves are the unsung heroes of climate change. They absorb up to 5x more carbon than the rainforest —10x more carbon than any terrestrial forest. Mangroves trap pollutants headed for the ocean, protect coastal communities
from extreme weather events like hurricanes and tsunami while also providing sustainable livelihoods
EVERY SECOND BREATH WE TAKE COMES FROM THE OCEAN.
MANGROVES KEEP THE OCEAN HEALTHY. ANIMALS, PEOPLE, PLANET. WE ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED
MANGROVES ARE SALTWATER-ROOTED TREES THAT LINE THE COASTS OF MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES AND PROVIDE HABITAT TO MILLIONS OF ANIMALS
THE ROOT BETWEEN OUR HEALTH AND THE OCEAN RUNS DEEP. MANGROVES ARE THE COMMON LINK BETWEEN A HEALTHY PLANET AND PEOPLE
EVERY 2ND BREATH WE TAKE COMES FROM THE OCEAN. MANGROVES ABSORB UP TP 5X MORE CARBON THAN RAINFORESTS AND ARE VITAL TO OUR PLANET

[911] MANATEE RELIEF / SAVE THE MANATEES
Manatees are starving and in crisis. Lovingly known as sea cows for their plump physique and voracious appetite for seagrass, healthy manatees can weigh up to 3,000 pounds.
Due to climate change, seagrass beds are disappearing and manatees are starving and dying in record numbers.
Seagrass can only thrive near healthy mangrove forests; their ecosystems are interconnected. But because of human activity, extreme ocean pollution and coastal erosion, mangroves are being destroyed, seagrass cannot thrive, and manatees cannot survive.
WELL/BEINGS is proud to include rescue, rehabilitation and conservation efforts to protect the manatees in Florida and across the Caribbean.
