100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.
With your support ($2 per tree planted) - we work with our project partners WILDCOAST to plant 100,000 mangrove trees with the help of the local community members in the El Datil region of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja, Mexico.
This project provides living-wage employment and training opportunities for the local community, empowers gender equity, protects the area from increased climate change impacts, and safeguards critical habitats for several vulnerable species.
At the heart of this project is a local group of women, “Mujeres de El Dátil,” who were trained in 2019 by WILDCOAST on mangroves environmental services, seedlings collection and planting techniques, as well as monitoring and maintenance of restored sites.
Every mangrove you help to plant:
- Provides living-wage employment to the local community.
- 11 women and 2 men trained in project management and monitoring.
- 250+ inhabitants of El Dátil have benefited from this project both directly and indirectly.
- Protects local areas and communities from sea-level rise and increased storm surges.
- Safeguards critical gray whale nursery habitat.
