Amazon Stewardship at Scale
In the tidal estuaries of Guinea-Bissau, one of the world’s largest mangrove restoration initiatives is underway. Spanning over half a million hectares, this project captures over 35 million metric tons of CO₂ annually—reviving ecosystems, protecting coastlines, and creating opportunity across West Africa through the power of blue carbon.
