A Mangrove Sea Was LEFT FOR DEAD... Then Colombia Reopened Its Rivers
Gray mangrove trunks, white mud, heat, salt, and silence — this is the story of Colombia’s Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, one of the Caribbean’s most dramatic mangrove collapses. But this wetland wasn’t lost because people forgot to plant trees; its rivers were cut off, its freshwater flow was broken, and the mangrove sea was slowly left to die.
