ALT A colourful illustrated infographic. Two green leafy mangrove trees flank the title in the centre of the image: ‘5 ways that mangroves showcase the power of nature-based solutions.’ At the top left of the image, a black and white wading bird (yellow-billed stork) flies above the branches on a blue background. Below the title a man in a hat fishes on the blue water in a small boat, a pink flamingo standing nearby. Towards the bottom of the image small shoals of white fish swim around submerged mangrove roots. At the bottom, an orange and brown loggerhead turtle swims from a seagrass bed on the right towards a raised reef of pink, red and lilac corals on the left. An orange and red mud crab sits above the seagrass amongst mangrove roots. Throughout the image are 5 captions detailing why mangroves are important for biodiversity, carbon storage, flood protection, livelihoods, health, and enhancing the health and biodiversity of other nearby ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds.
