The Mangrove Breakthrough

The Mangrove Breakthrough is a science-based, measurable, and achievable target for non-state actors and governments to collectively restore and protect mangroves at the scale needed to secure the future of these vital coastal forests. This will be achieved by driving and catalyzing financial flows to activate proven solutions and mobilize action on the ground for the protection and restoration of mangrove ecosystems. The Breakthrough aims to catalyze the financial support needed to scale proven solutions by working to channel finance to the ground through the Global Mangrove Alliance: a world-wide collaboration between NGOs, governments, academics and communities working together towards a global vision for accelerating change and building a host of opportunities for coastal peoples and biodiversity around the planet. The Mangrove Breakthrough is a science-based, achievable and measurable goal for non-state actors and governments to collectively restore and protect mangroves at the scale needed, catalyzing financial flows to scale proven solutions and mobilize action on the ground.
