Young people are among our most powerful allies in securing the future of mangroves. Through our Mangrove School Clubs initiatives, we work with schools across Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, and Tanzania to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
Mangrove School Clubs bring students and teachers together to learn about the value of mangroves through dynamic activities like drama, field trips, and art competitions. By building a deep connection between young people and their natural surroundings, we’re fostering a culture of conservation that spreads from classrooms into communities.
With over 100 clubs already established, benefiting around 2,500 pupils and growing demand across Africa, this model offers an exciting pathway to mainstream mangrove education into national curricula at both primary and secondary levels.
