Niger Delta
Mangrove Belt Revival
First Climate
The Niger Delta's mangroves were sacrificed to oil. For decades, flare stacks replaced forest canopy. Now First Climate is replanting at industrial scale — a million seedlings a year, community by community. Each hectare of mangrove sequesters 5× more carbon than terrestrial forest. A blue carbon fortress rising from oil country.
