Restore Nature Our work is informed by decades of tested and proven project experience. To restore deforested mangrove regions with the greatest speed and efficiency, our teams gather propagules from the nearby forests and plant them in the specific tidal-zone locales that best match their unique types. Here’s how the process works!
Propagules begin the germination process while attached to the parent tree, which supplies them with nutrients and water until they are mature enough to drop off the branch. However, only a small percentage of mature propagules survive, due to overcrowding and excessive shade. And here’s two reasons why it’s so effective!
Mangroves are one of few plants that can grow with their roots in soils that are saturated with salt water. In fact, each species has a different level of salt tolerance, which determines where it would flourish within distinct tidal zones . Our team therefore sorts all propagules by species before taking each species to be planted in the appropriate tidal zone section for optimized growth and promotion of healthy, diverse forests.
