The German Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ), World
Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) join
forces in the international mangrove initiative
“Save Our Mangroves Now!” to halt the global
loss of mangroves.
“Save Our Mangroves Now!” is a joint
commitment of the above named partners to
intensify efforts in mangrove conservation. It
aims to upscale and focus global efforts to stop
and reverse the decrease and degradation of
mangrove habitats, and supports the target of the
Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) to increase the
global area of mangrove habitat by 20% over the
current extent by 2030.
Backed by BMZ’s strong bilateral portfolio
and building on IUCN’s and WWF’s wide
engagement and sound experience in mangrove
conservation, this initiative has the ambition to
create a variety of partnerships and cooperation
with other mangrove organizations, initiatives
and countries. “Save Our Mangroves Now!”
– together with the GMA, provides a platform
for knowledge sharing and the exchange of
experience in order to encourage collaborations
and to foster synergies.
