Healthy Mangroves:
Mangrove roots shelter many species, like this starfish in Tunicate Cove in Belize. They also benefit human populations by buffering fluctuating sea levels. Rising sea levels linked to global warming threaten mangrove forests around the globe. The Wildlife Without Borders Program, managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, has supported the conservation of Belize's mangrove forests since 2002. |
