Sadly, these were cut in the past, with Tanzania having lost more than 100,000 hectares. Restoration is highly needed at the moment to enable uptake of 100 million tons of carbon by 2040, and support communities on sites.]\n\n#### 📜 Our Solution\n[\nBlue Carbon Tanzania (BCT) works with coastal communities to restore mangroves and support sustainable livelihoods like beekeeping. Since January 2025, we’ve planted 4,320 mangroves in Kisiju, protecting coastlines, supporting biodiversity, and capturing ~2,000 tons of CO₂—equal to removing 1,500 🚗 cars from the road! Every $1 plants a 🌱 mangrove. Join us in scaling this impact! 🌍💚\n]\n\n#### 🌱Our organisation/ Community\n[\nBlue Carbon Tanzania (BCT) partners with coastal communities to restore mangroves and create sustainable livelihoods. The restoration heroes are low to middle income, we empower them in beekeeping and conservation. Our efforts fight climate change and improve lives. Together, we build a more resilient future—one mangrove at a time!\n]\n\n\n#### 🖼️ See Our Impact\n[![alt text](https://www.ecocertain.xyz/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fhypercert-image%2F42220-0x16bA53B74c234C870c61EFC04cD418B8f2865959-49340943203536077202189318077606390661120&w=640&q=75)]\n\n#### 🔗 [View Our Hypercert](https://www.ecocertain.xyz/hypercert/42220-0x16bA53B74c234C870c61EFC04cD418B8f2865959-49340943203536077202189318077606390661120)\n\n#### 📝 What This Hypercert Represents:\n[\nBetween January and February 2025, Blue Carbon Tanzania (BCT) and local communities planted 4,320 mangroves across two hectares in Kisiju, Tanzania! These incredible trees will protect coastlines from erosion, support marine biodiversity, and absorb around 2,000 tons of carbon over their lifetime—equivalent to taking 1,500 cars off the road for an entire year! 🚗💨❌. 🌱  Mangroves provide additional benefits like the nursery and breeding grounds for fishes, homes for marine organisms and biodiversity, recreational and educational values. With your support, we can scale up this impact! Every $1 plants a mangrove, protecting our planet for future generations.\n]\n\n#### ✅ Proof That It’s Working\n[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_aOryKy1KW1SZfrYApqavCIp5Xwu7wh3/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103364173357269963530&rtpof=true&sd=true\n\nhttps://photos.app.goo.gl/8A9NMsWqGWitqWRH9\n]\n\n#### 📂 [See the Proof of Impact](https://maps.gainforest.app/da81cbaad47b9cbbc37d58342d7bbd3ae9dca3a36e47e32c49597adb56e361af/info)\n\n#### 💡 Join Us in Making a Difference!\n[\nEvery $1 plants a 🌱 mangrove and empowers the coastal communities.\n]\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": ""}
