Guanahacabibes National Park, Cuba

Today we’re admiring red mangrove seedlings at Guanahacabibes National Park in Cuba. Take a trip to the Mangrove forests, which not only protect coastlines but also plays a crucial component of tropical coastal ecosystems and are uniquely suited to thrive in brackish or salty water. These hardy trees can withstand the force of tremendous waves and ferocious winds, fending off the damaging effects of storms and erosion.
