A man plants mangrove seedlings Rhizophora Apiculata, also known as “Bakhaw Lalaki,” as part of reforestation efforts in Del Carmen town in Siargao. A hectare of mangrove stores carbon the equivalent of the annual car emission of over 330 vehicles or 1,083,000 kg of carbon per hectare. Del Carmen has the largest continuous mangrove stand in the Philippines with 4,871 hectares of mangrove forest. (photo by Erwin Mascariñas)
