Along the banks of the Sabaki River in Kenya, volunteers are planting mangrove trees.
They're working together to restore the valuable ecosystem and bring the estuary back to life.
For generations, villagers living near the Sabaki estuary relied on a plentiful supply of lumber, firewood, fresh water, seafood and farming land.
But population density and overexploitation has had a devastating impact.
Ecologist David Obura explains:
When properly protected and maintained, the coastal wetland is a resilient ally in the face of climate change.
It does the job by storing carbon, filtering water pollution and protecting against extreme weather and rising sea levels.
But convincing the villagers of the area that there is value for them in conservation has required careful diplomacy.
They have needed to see that there is an economic benefit to rehabilitating nature.
In one project fishermen are taught about sustainable fishing, meaning fish can thrive while locals can eat.
Some locals are protecting forests from illegal logging traders, while others act as guides for visitors wishing to experience the restored wildlife.
Tens of thousands of mangrove trees have already been planted, and the vital work continues for the future of the Sabaki River.
