(English below)// Das Jahr hat mit einer Reise in (English below)// Das Jahr hat mit einer Reise in den Süden von Benin begonnen. Dort haben wir zusammen mit unserem Kooperationspartner der lokalen NGO "Centre de Recherche pour la Gestion de la Biodiversité" Projektinhalte besprochen, die Lagune von Ouidah erkundet und mit lokalen Entscheidungsträgern gesprochen. Das Pilotprojekt "Des Leçons sur la Mangrove" ist ein Bildungs- und Wiederaufforstungsprojekt, welches Schüler*innen und Lehrenden theoretisches Wissen und praktische Fertigkeiten zum Erhalt und zur Wiederherstellung von Mangroven vermittelt. Wenn Ihr mehr erfahren oder unser Projekt unterstützen möchtet, dann schaut auf unserer Website oder Spendenseite vorbei: https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/107435-des-lecons-sur-la-mangrove The year started with a trip to southern Benin. There we discussed together with our cooperation partner the local NGO "Centre de Recherche pour la Gestion de la Biodiversité", the project content, explored the lagoon of Ouidah and spoke to local decision-makers. The pilot project "Des Leçons sur la Mangrove" is an education and reforestation project that provides school children and teachers with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the conservation and reforestation of mangroves.

(English below)// Happy #worldwetlandsday Passend (English below)// Happy #worldwetlandsday Passend zum heutigen Tag: Hier ein paar Eindrücke von unserer Arbeit in der Lagune von Ouidah im Süden von Benin. Foto 1: Feldarbeiten sind sehr anstrengend, manchmal braucht man da ein kurzes Mittagsschläfchen im Boot. Foto 2: Dieser Ort in den Mangroven ist in der Voodoo Religion heilig. Es ist hier nicht erlaubt Holz zu entnehmen, da sonst die Mosquitos in das Dorf kommen. Foto 3: In den Lagune wurden Fotos gemacht und GPS Koordinaten genommen. Bald werdet Ihr mehr über unser neues Projekt erfahren 🌱 Here are some impressions of our work in the lagoon of Ouidah in the south of Benin. Photo 1: Field work is exhausting, sometimes you need a short nap in the boat. Photo 2: This place in the mangroves is sacred in the voodoo religion. Here it is forbidden to take wood, otherwise the mosquitoes will come to the village. Photo 3: Photos and GPS coordinates have been taken in the lagoon. Soon you will find out more about our project 🌱 #mangroves #mangroveforests #mangroveconservation #wetlands #learnaboutmangroves #biodiversity #benin #ouidah #westafrica
Sweet Juniartini (on the left) is the coordinator Sweet Juniartini (on the left) is the coordinator of the Mangrove Care Forum Bali (Forum Peduli Mangrove Bali). She has studied forestry with the focus on forest rehabilitation. We spoke about her work to protect, conserve and restore the mangroves of Bali and to educate about their importance. 🎤 Sweet, you are the coordinator of the Mangrove Care Forum Bali. Many people do not know what makes your daily work. Please give us a brief insight. 🌱 First of all, my job is a lot of fun. I am going to the mangroves every day. We work in several areas around Benoa Bay. Our tasks are among others mangrove cultivation training, replanting, collecting organic and inorganic material and educational work in the villages around the mangroves. There, I do door-to-door awareness raising in particular about waste management. 🎤 Worldwide are mangroves under threat. How is the status of the mangroves in Bali? 🌱 The condition of the mangroves in Bali, which are under the management of Tahura (the local government that manages mangroves in Bali) and the Mangrove Care Forum Bali - who work together to preserve mangrove forests - is quite good, almost 80 % of the 1,373.5 ha are covered by mangroves. But if these good conditions are not maintained properly, the mangroves would also be under threat. Damage is caused by people who dump their garbage in the mangrove forest area. The garbage inhibits the growth of the mangrove plants and can lead, if left unchecked, to a die-off. Mangrove damage apart from human activities, can also be due to natural factors such as climate change; high water salinity - that can reach 40 ppm - or strong crashing waves, thus triggering out washing of sedimentary mud material, which is needed by young plants to adapt. These are natural obstacles that hinder the success of replanting.

Shaury Iddi Hassan lives in Kitogani, a village in Shaury Iddi Hassan lives in Kitogani, a village in Zanzibar, Tanzania. In 2019 he initiated a community project which aims to sustain the mangroves of Kitogani for future generations and to improve the well-being of the community. We spoke with him about mangroves and community work. 🎤Shaury, you are offering guided tours into the mangroves of Kitogani in Zanzibar. How was the idea born? 🌱The idea was a process. We, my colleague Ramazan and I, were thinking about the problem that people in the village cut down mangroves for e.g. fire wood and to produce charcoal, because they do not have an income but families to sustain. It is very hard for the people to survive without natural resources. So, we were facing the question: how can we provide alternative incomes to them in order to stop mangrove destruction? The mangroves in Kitogani are not protected, they are exploited without any rules and management. We wanted to create something to raise awareness about mangroves and to provide income opportunities for our community. Then, the idea came up to offer guided tours into the mangroves and to put earnings back into the community. That’s how “Zanzibar Mangrove Tour” was born. 🎤How does a guided tour into the mangrove look like? 🌱There are two options: going by a traditional canoe at high tide or by feet during low tide. Along the way we are explaining the tourists e.g. which mangrove species they see on the basis of leaves, fruits and roots; which animals in the mangroves live and why mangroves are important e.g. to protect the coastal villages against the rising sea level and tsunamis. 🎤Do you have an information that you particularly like to share about mangroves during your tour? 🌱Yes, which mangrove species grow on our beautiful island and how important mangroves are for marine life.

Shiva Thorat lives in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, th Shiva Thorat lives in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, the twin city of Mumbai. He studied Political Science (BA) and Media & Cultural Science (MA). He is filmmaker, researcher and published the trailer “Mangroves: Mumbai’s Last Guards”. We talked with him about the city and its mangroves. 🎤Shiva, how did the mangroves get your attention? 🌱There was not this one moment, it was more an assemble of things happened. My area of interest is geography and history connected to political science. A big topic throughout India is “development” and “land reclamation”, the tremendous growth of Mumbai has led to a rampant destruction of mangroves. Our coastline is densely grown with mangroves but they are facing ever increasing pressure due to land reclamation for urban development and industrialization. The beginning of this process reaches far back to the East India Company, who started reclaiming land from the sea and filling low hills, tidal flats, mangrove forests and salt pans to join the former seven islands to one island city – today’s Mumbai. These days Mumbai is so jam-packed, that even more land is reclaimed from the sea. Furthermore, I experienced several times unawareness about mangroves in the society. So, I decided to start awareness raising work by making a film. 🎤Mumbai lost around 40 % of its mangroves in recent decades. How is the state of the mangroves today? 🌱The state of the mangroves in Mumbai is still bad. Down the shoreline of Mumbai, you can see their destruction. A lot of urbanization projects in coastal areas are in progress and at the planning stage, mostly private gear owned. A current urban development project is the Navi Mumbai International Airport, which is literally built on mangroves. So far, around 200 acres of mangroves, located in the area of Vashi and Ulwe, have been destroyed for the construction and it is assumed that the project will cause to vanish in total 400 acres (162 ha) of mangroves.

(English below)// Wurzelsystem: Teil 1 Aufgrund ih (English below)// Wurzelsystem: Teil 1 Aufgrund ihres Aussehens und ihrer Funktion den Baum zu stützen, werden diese Wurzeln auch "Stelzwurzeln" genannt (ausgebildet von Arten der Gattung Rhizophora). Sie wachsen aus den Ästen oder dem Hauptstamm heraus (bis zu 2 m über dem Boden) und verlängern sich (bis zu 9 mm pro Tag) bis sie in einiger Entfernung vom Stamm in den Boden eindringen. Auf den Wurzeln finden sich kleine Poren (Lentizellen), welche dafür sorgen, dass die Pflanze im sauerstoffarmen Boden und während der Flut mit Sauerstoff versorgt wird. Root system: Part 1 Because of their appearance and physical support to the trunk, these roots (formed by Rhizophora species) are known as "stilt roots". The roots grow from branches or from the main trunk (up to 2 m above the ground), elongate (up to 9 mm / day) and penetrate the soil at some distance from the trunk. On the roots there are tiny pores (lenticels), which ensure that the plant is supplied with oxygen in the oxygen-poor soil and during high tide. #learnaboutmangroves #mangroves #mangroveforests #mangroven #rhizophora #aerialroots #roots #mangroveconservation #umweltbildung
(English below)// Mangroven bilden unterschiedlich (English below)// Mangroven bilden unterschiedliche Formen oberirdischer Wurzeln aus. Diese sorgen dafür, dass die Pflanze im sauerstoffarmen Boden mit Sauerstoff versorgt wird. Der Sauerstoff wird über Atemporen (Lentizellen) aufgenommen und in die Pflanzenteile weitergeleitet. Weiterhin geben die Wurzeln Halt und verankern den Baum im weichen Untergrund. Eigene Darstellung nach Tomlinson, P. B. (2016). The Botany of Mangroves (2. Aufl.). Cambridge University Press. Mangroves form different structures of above ground roots. Those ensure that the plant is supplied with oxygen in the oxygen-poor soil. Oxygen is taken up via tiny pores (lenticels) and transported into other plant parts. The roots also stabilize and anchor the tree in the soft soil. Own illustration based on Tomlinson, P. B. (2016).

(English below)// Mit großer Freude verkünden wi (English below)// Mit großer Freude verkünden wir die Zusammenarbeit mit @shivathorat und die Unterstützung seines Filmprojektes. Der Dokumentarfilm über die Zerstörung der Mangroven zwecks Landgewinnung für die Stadtentwicklung Mumbais richtet dabei sein Augenmerk auf die indigenen Küstengemeinden, die dadurch ihrer Lebensgrundlage beraubt werden. Anlass gab der Bau des neuen internationalen Flughafens in Navi Mumbai, welcher in einem von Mangroven bewachsenen Gebiet entstehen wird. Rund 160 Hektar Mangrovenwald werden dafür gerodet und das Land den Küstengemeinden genommen. Familien kämpfen um eine gerechte Entschädigung, ihre Unterkunft und Lebensgrundlage bleiben nach dem Verlust von Land und Mangroven ungewiss. Interviewt werden indigene Gemeinschaften, Umweltschützer*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen zu der Zerstörung des schützenden Mangrovengürtels der Küstenmetropole, welche von immer heftigeren Überschwemmungen, Wirbelstürmen und dem steigenden Meeresspiegel bedroht ist. We are happy to announce our collaboration with @shivathorat and the support of his documentary film. The documentary speaks about the destruction of mangroves for land reclamation (a process of creating new land from the sea) in the city development of Mumbai with focus on the indigenous coastal communities, which are being robbed of their livelihood at the same time. What brought it about is the construction of the new international airport in Navi Mumbai, which is built in a mangrove covered area. Around 160 hectares will be cleared and land is grabbed from coastal communities. Families are struggling for fair compensation, their accommodation and livelihoods remain unclear after losing their land and the mangroves. Indigenous communities, environmentalists and scientists are being interviewed about the loss of the protective mangrove belt in the coastal metropolis, which faces increasingly severe flooding, cyclones and rising sea level. 📸 @shivathorat #mangroves #mangroveforests #mumbai #bombay #india #documentary #learnaboutmangroves #education #climatechange #mangroveconservation #protectmangroves #coastalecosystem #coastalcommunities #indigenouspeoples #stopadani #umweltbildu
(English below)// Heute ist der „Internationale (English below)// Heute ist der „Internationale Tag der indigenen Bevölkerung“. In vielen Küstenregionen der Tropen und Subtropen leben indigene Gemeinschaften mit den Mangroven. Für die indigene Bevölkerung sind sie eine wichtige Ressourcen- und Nahrungsquelle. Sie liefern Brennholz, Materialien für den Boots- und Häuserbau sowie zum Erstellen von Fischereiausrüstung aber auch Nahrung wie Fisch, Krabben, Früchte und Honig. Für medizinische Behandlungen werden Blätter, Rinden und Früchte verwendet. Weiterhin besitzen Mangroven einen hohen kulturellen Wert für die indigenen Gemeinschaften. Trotz ihres reichen Wissens über den nachhaltigen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen und ihrer Rolle als Hüter des Landes wird die indigene Bevölkerung marginalisiert und diskriminiert. Lasst uns die Stimme erheben und uns für die Rechte der indigenen Bevölkerung weltweit einsetzen. Today is the "International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples". In many coastal regions of the tropics and subtropics indigenous communities live with the mangroves. For the indigenous peoples mangroves are an important source for resources and food. They provide fuel, materials for constructing boats, roofs and fishing gear as well as food like fish, crabs, fruits and honey. Leaves, barks and fruits are used as medical treatment. Furthermore, mangroves hold a strong cultural value for indigenous communities. Despite their crucial knowledge about managing natural resources sustainably and as guardians of the land are indigenous peoples marginalized and face discrimination. Let us speak up and fight for the rights of indigenous communities worldwide. @amnestyinternational @unitednations #tagderindigenenvölker #indigenous #menschrenrechtefüralle #indigenouspeoplesday #mangroves #mangroveforests #learnaboutmangroves 📸@sundarbans
