Mangroves at the Front Line of
Climate Protection
Mangroves are among the planet’s most powerful natural defences against climate change. In Thailand, Ultima Impact Foundation partnered with a local organisation to replant mangrove saplings along the most vulnerable stretches of coastline.
These saplings are climate powerhouses — they anchor soil, support fisheries, protect against erosion, and absorb more carbon per hectare than any other tropical forest. Yet globally, we’re losing them at alarming rates.
In this initiative, we worked along side environmental activists to reintroduce mangrove life to degraded shorelines. The process is slow, messy, and hands-on — just the way it needs to be.
Since 1996, more than 5,200 square kilometres of mangroves have been lost — roughly 83 football fields every day. In coastal regions like Thailand, the absence of these ecosystems spell greater devastation and habitat loss from floods, storms, and other natural disasters.
Replanting mangroves isn’t just about greenery — it’s about resilience, food security, and survival.
“At Ultima Impact, we recognise the unmatched value of mangroves in climate mitigation and community protection. Our mission is to revive these ecosystems, ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for all.”

What We Learned
This was a humbling reminder of how powerful small ecosystems can be. Our volunteers experienced firsthand the difficulty—and the importance—of replanting what’s been lost.
We hope to continue working with our local partners on long-term climate recovery.
