A destroyed a forest of mangroves.

Add to Cart

Stumps of cut mangrove trees submersed in sea water.

Seeing their land being claimed by the sea and their livelihoods destroyed has made many in the community despair. They now see their mangrove forests as something that will be lost, too, just like their coconut trees.

But out of despair also came creativity. Rather than losing mangroves, residents have resorted to using what's left of them for firewood, and charcoal, which they sell or use at home for cooking.
