The Global Wetlands Project (GLOW) brings together partners across countries to monitor mangrove ecosystems using shared field methods, camera systems, sensors, and automated data tools. As mangrove degradation continues to affect coastlines worldwide, restoration efforts often focus on forest structure and canopy, while far less attention is given to animals —crabs, fish, mudskippers, molluscs, and […]

Shellfish reefs are important coastal ecosystems that help stabilise shorelines, filter water, and provide habitat for marine life. In subtropical Queensland, however, many of these reefs have declined dramatically, and major gaps have remained in our understanding of where they once occurred, where they still persist, and what condition they are in today. A new […]

A Blueprint for Successful Restoration Implementation: A Case Study in Mexico’s Mangroves By Alex White This year, the IUCN released a report on global mangrove ecosystems, the first for the Red List of Threatened Ecosystems. It quotes that “over half of the world’s mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse before 2050.” Fortunately, international interest […]

On January 30, 2024

Written by Alex White and edited by Jasmine Hall Mangroves provide vital ecosystem services on both a local and global scale. Benefits like carbon sequestration, habitat for sustaining fisheries and providing coastal protection have boosted the profile of mangroves in recent years. However, despite being targeted as high priority for restoration around the world, restoration […]

By Alex White Earlier this year, 196 countries pledged to uphold the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), which was implemented to support equitable and sustainable long-term use of the Earth’s ecosystems. Now, these countries must coordinate actions to conserve and sustain Earth’s ecosystems. A major challenge to coordinating actions internationally are the diverse socioeconomic and […]
