Seeing mangroves regrow: A visual story on the surprise resurgence of Iloilo's coastal forests

Quick Summary:

On International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, Eco-Business looks at the unexpected rapid growth of a thriving mangrove forest in Iloilo City, Philippines, following the completion of a man-made floodway.

Rina Rosales, a sustainable natural resource management specialist affiliated with consulting firm Resources, Environment and Economics Center for Studies (REECS), hopes the mangrove mapping initiative will improve the country’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) System.

To capitalise on the unprecedented mangrove growth along the Jaro Floodway, the local government of Iloilo City plans to establish the Hinactacan Mangrove Eco-Park in the area.
