World Mangrove Day Gallery – Come and view stunning images!
Today, less than half the world’s original mangrove forest cover remains, so it has never been more crucial to preserve them. The Mangrove Photography Awards reveals fascinating insights into these unique ecosystems while challenging us to consider our place in the natural world and responsibility to it.
These powerful images are a compelling reminder of the vital role mangroves play and inspire us to protect them for future generations.
