Descripción de la sesión
Mangrove restoration is often celebrated for its carbon storage potential, but these coastal ecosystems offer far more. They shield communities from storm surges, provide nurseries for marine life, improve water quality, and sustain local livelihoods. In this talk, Nada Elshanawany, Operations Manager at Nabat.ai, reframes the conversation around mangroves—moving beyond carbon metrics to a more holistic understanding of their value. Drawing from Nabat’s field experience, she will explore how restoration projects can be designed to balance ecological, social, and economic benefits, ensuring that local communities thrive alongside regenerated ecosystems.
