World in Progress: Cashing in on Kenya's mangroves

Antje Diekhans/speaker: Natalie MullerSeptember 25, 2019

About a third of the world's mangrove forests have been cut down in the past 40 years. That's dealt a huge blow to the environment, because mangroves are able to store up to five times more greenhouse gases than other trees. Communities in Kenya are now replanting mangroves. That's certainly good for the environment and it also helps them financially: They make money from selling carbon credits.
