🌿 Stepping into the Magic of Mangroves! 🌟
What an amazing day for the Rotaract Club of Montebello!
On Sunday, 20th April, we had the incredible opportunity to dive into the world of mangroves during the Mangrove Citizen Science session organized by Reef Conservation Mauritius at the stunning Pointe d’Esny. 🌱🌊
We discovered just how magical mangroves are — learning where they grow, how they first came to Mauritius, and why they are absolutely vital in protecting our ecosystems! From providing safe homes for countless species to connecting the land and the sea, mangroves truly are nature’s superheroes! 🦸♂️🌎
To take things even further, we explored the Mangrove Matters mobile app, giving us a hands-on way to record real data and support ongoing conservation efforts! 📲🌿
A huge shoutout to Mr. Ismael from Bis Lamer for such an engaging and eye-opening session, and a special thanks to our very own Rotaractor Harshita for leading this inspiring project with so much passion and energy! ✨
