Nature at a Breaking Point.
We are living in an era of planetary instability. Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that define Earth’s safe operating space; today, seven of these boundaries have already been crossed. From climate change to biodiversity collapse and freshwater disruption, the resilience of our biosphere is failing.
THE CONGO BASIN: THE WORLD FIRST LUNG... AND MORE
As the largest terrestrial carbon sink, a key regulator of global climate systems, and a biodiversity stronghold, protecting the Congo Basin transcends local responsibility, it is a global imperative which has led to the creation of largest conservation project in the world: The Green Corridor.
Our contribution: The Congo Basin Regeneration Initiative
Recognizing these priorities, we launched the Congo Basin Regeneration Initiative (CBRI), which takes a systemic approach to unify community development, biodiversity conservation and climate impact within the Green Corridor.
THE CONGO MANGROVES PROJECT
At the very edge of the CBRI lies the Mangrove Marine Park (PMM): a rare coastal treasure and a critical climate and biodiversity regulator.
A High-Value Carbon Sink & Biodiversity Sanctuary.
Mangroves are among the most crucial ecosystems on the planet:
Biosphere Integrity
They serve as nurseries for marine life, ensuring food security for local fishermen and give shelter to rare endanger species such as manatees and sea turtles.
Coastal Resilience
They act as a natural buffer against rising sea levels and erosion.
Climate Regulation
Mangroves are efficient long-term carbon sinks, storing up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests.
Within the Congo Basin Regeneration Initiative, the Congo Mangroves Project positions the protection of the Congo river oceanic gateway as a foundational step in securing humanity’s future
