Why Mangrove Movement?
for our planet, mangroves
- use their roots and leaves to filter nitrates and phosphates, limiting unwanted chemicals
- trap sediments and pollutants that would otherwise flow out to sea, decreasing ocean pollution
- bind soil, which protects against erosion
for our wildlife, mangroves
- provide habitat for a wide range of species, ranging from insects that seek shelter of the trees to marine life that thrive in the waters amidst the roots of the mangroves, thus improving biodiversity
- supply algae and invertebrates with essential nutrients, feeding small organisms and thus sustaining them
for us, mangroves
- provide protection against typhoons by acting as barriers between land and sea, reducing damage to property and livelihood
- create sustainable livelihoods like fishing and eco-tourism
- provide food security through the abundance of fish, crabs, shrimps and mussels

PROVIDING ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY
The portable generator allows the village to have access to electricity during cloudy or rainy days when their solar lamps cannot be powered by the sun. This is crucial for family members who have medical needs such as asthma and need to use a nebulizer for treatment and relief.

ADDITIONAL INCOME FOR NOVELETA RIVER RANGERS
Lighter, longer-lasting and brighter solar lights make it possible for the Noveleta River Rangers to fish longer — leading to potentially higher yields and increase in income.
HELPING THE PAETE CARVERS
Mang Ronilo, has been carving for over 30 years. His shop and 7 employees were affected by the pandemic. Every woodcraft you buy supports the livelihoods of hardworking people like Mang Ranilo and his crew.
SUPPORTING THE MANGYAN TRIBE
Meet the Mangyan Tribal community. Our wood crafts utilize driftwood gathered by this proud & indigenous group, often marginalized by society.
PROTECTING
NOVELETA, CAVITE
Noveleta is surrounded by coastal waters, making it vulnerable to flooding brought about by typhoons. Your purchase allows us to plant mangrove trees that act as barrier between the coast and the town, preventing erosion & reducing the force of waters.
