Back from an incredible trip to S. #Bangladesh - exploring the impact of human disturbance on fringing #mangroves. Despite being narrow (~50 m), these systems likely deliver unique #EcosystemServices until disturbance is too severe. Met with many partners, exciting plans afoot to return soon! 🇧🇩 🌴

In it, we asked if housing developers have been delivering their ecological commitments.

Answer: NO.
