International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem Jul 26, 2026

At sunrise in Honduras" Pig Keys—small, low-lying coastal islets tucked within mangrove-rich wetlands—a red mangrove lifts its tangled roots above glassy water. This striking scene captures what 26 July celebrates: the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, created to spotlight these vital coastal forests.
