EVERY TREE COUNTS - ARTIVIST COLLECTION
"Blue Carbon is a term for carbon captured in coastal/marine ecosystems. According to UNESCO current estimates indicate that we lost half of all mangroves in the past 40 years. Protecting mangroves is extremely important because they are a key weapon in the fight against climate change. Mangroves reduce flooding and erosion from storms, are nurseries for fish, filtering pollutants, and storing more carbon dioxide than rainforests do. But when mangroves get destroyed or damaged they release the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere."
The artwork was selected by the organising committee of COP26 to be displayed at the event, to illustrate species extinction & habitat loss. A copy was made and displayed in the event's VIP lounge.
This Mangrove drawing means so much to me! I call it my lucky charm. Originally created for the Marine Diaries to help them with their Marine Ecosystem Diaries project I donated the original A4 print to Explorers Against Extinction, where it won the the sketch for survival competition in the category wild spaces. Now you can wear it on a tee, hoodie or pullover and keep raising awareness how important Mangroves are!
