"Mangroves are essential in helping to turn the tide on climate change.
Globally, mangrove trees act as a carbon sink – capturing four times more
carbon than rainforests and locking it deep in their roots or vaults, keeping
the harmful gas from entering the atmosphere for millennia.

Abu Dhabi is using its expertise in mangroves to support the conservation and
restoration of carbon sink mangrove habitats throughout the world. Mangroves
could be an excellent nature-based solution in helping to turn the tide on
climate change, protecting communities from flooding and preserving our
precious natural world. These low-lying trees, planted in great numbers all
along Abu Dhabi’s coastline, are known as the ‘Guardian of the Coast.’ They
sustain entire ecosystems and defend our shores."
