    🌱🌳 Today, on International Day of Forests, we’re celebrating a special kind of forest—mangrove forests! 🌊 These coastal forests are essential for protecting shorelines, providing habitat for marine life, and storing carbon to fight climate change.This week, students in The Bahamas participating in our Bahamian Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) program took action to restore these vital ecosystems. After caring for mangrove seedlings in their classrooms all year, they planted them along the coast, giving these young trees a new home where they will grow and thrive.Through hands-on conservation, these students are not just learning about mangroves—they’re becoming the next generation of environmental stewards. 💙🌿Thanks to our local partners, Friends of the Environment, for helping us bring this program to students at Forest Heights Academy in Abaco.#InternationalDayofForests #mangroverestoration #oceanliteracy #NatureForAll #outdooreducation #ScienceWithoutBorders ...
