A local Bengali woman plants a mangrove (Sundari) sapling on Sagar Island in the ecologically sensitive Sundarbans river delta region, in West Bengal. Thousands of local people will join the mangrove planting initiative led by Professor Sugata Hazra from Jadavapur University, which will help to protect the coast from erosion and will also provide nutrients for fish and capture carbon in their extensive root systems and help to keep carbon in the soil.
