Reforesting the mangroves
Thanks to the local people, we built two new “Nursery gardens” for reforesting the mangroves in the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
The first day we cut a lot of bamboo in special sizes to build the “bed” for the mangroves. The local people helped us a lot. In the end of the day we brought the bamboo to the coast where the mangroves will grow from now on. It’s very important that the local people are part of the reforesting because we want to show, that everybody can do something for our nature.
The next day we searched and found a lot of mangrove seeds. Later we put them in little bags of mud and then planted them in the “Nursery Garden” where they can grow without getting destroyed by the ocean.
Through this work we created a new habitat for a lot of fishes, birds and crabs. This will increase the quality of living for the costal communities and will improve our nature.
