Mangrove conservation in Eastern Visayas gets a boost as Sun Life Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation launch the Integrated Mangrove Citizen Science and Sustainable Livelihood Initiative. Mangroves are vital ecosystems that act as carbon sinks, fish nurseries, livelihood sources and natural breakwaters, yet they are rapidly disappearing. The project, made possible by funding from the global financial services company aims to improve mangrove conservation by supporting community-based social enterprises and equipping locals with tools and techniques for enhanced mangrove management.
