For the future

Rewiring how the world values mangroves.

Setting a global standard for how nature is valued, financed, and protected—with mangroves acting as a catalyst for biodiversity, climate and community resilience worldwide.
#1

Catalytic collaboration

We unite communities, governments, financial institutions, civil society, and the private sector into one coordinated movement—built on trust, shared goals, and collective momentum.
#2

Unlocking capital

We’re creating a global blueprint for how the world invests in nature—to deliver climate resilience, protect biodiversity, and empower frontline communities.
#3

Beyond blue carbon

Mangroves are powerful blue carbon ecosystems—and vital infrastructure for resilience, livelihoods, and biodiversity. While we spotlight overlooked tools like transition bonds, we also support the ecosystem that enables high-integrity carbon projects.
#4

Systems level policy integration

We work with national and local governments to embed mangroves into policies, regulatory frameworks, and development strategies—because for millions, mangroves are lifelines.
#5

Building for delivery

We turn global momentum into tangible results—serving as both the steward of a bold long-term vision and the engine that drives real-world implementation at scale.
our mission
We’re mobilizing $4 billion to secure the future of 15 million hectares of mangroves by 2030. By shifting from short-term fixes to systemic, long-term investment, we ensure mangroves are financed, protected, further studied, and fully integrated into global economic and climate frameworks.

Why Mangroves

The superpower of mangroves

Mangroves are one of the most powerful—and overlooked—nature-based solutions. Today, 50% of mangrove ecosystems are at risk, putting 2.1 million people directly in harm’s way. Protecting mangroves means protecting livelihoods, biodiversity, and economies.
