In an extraordinary endeavor to combat climate change and preserve local biodiversity, Ravva Onshore Terminal has embarked on a mission to transform a 30-hectare swampy wasteland into a thriving mangrove ecosystem via plantation of 30,000 mangroves. Carefully chosen for their unparalleled carbon sequestration capacity, 2 species of mangroves have been selected for this restoration project: Black and White Mangroves. These resilient species are known for their ability to capture and store significant amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. With patience and dedication, these mangroves will mature over a period of three years, at which point they are expected to capture more than 1200 tons of CO2 annually.
