  • Mangroves in Belize protect coastlines, are nursery grounds for fish, and store vast amounts of carbon.
  • In 2021, the government of Belize committed to restoring 4,000 hectares (nearly 10,000 acres) of mangroves, and protecting an additional 12,000 hectares (nearly 30,000 acres) within a decade, as part of its emissions reduction target under the Paris climate agreement.
  • To support this restoration target, WWF Mesoamerica is developing a national mangrove restoration action plan.
  • Restoration initiatives are already underway in areas like Gales Point, Placencia Caye and elsewhere.
