Restored mangroves holding back sea level rise
Senegal is among the worst affected countries in Africa by droughts. Persistent droughts saw nearly 40% of its mangrove area lost since the 1970s. A project funded by the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has restored thousands of hectares of mangroves. IFAD intends to use this project to reforest more than 1,000 hectares of mangroves over the next few years.
