Mumbai– the city we call home NEEDS our attention. In the midst of the crowd and chaos of this city, there are oasis of beauty and calm. These are the mangroves, the fortress lining our coastal city and protecting us all. These Mangroves are crucial to Mumbai and to our environment. - These Mangroves protect the integrity our shoreline - Safeguard us against potential ecological disasters such as floods - Provide rich habitat for marine species and biodiversity - Filter waste water and absorb pollutants in the air - Acts as an incredible Carbon store Through “Mission Mangroves”, United Way of Mumbai pledges to plant 100,001 mangrove saplings in the wetlands of Mumbai over the period of one year. Join me in supporting this cause and make a lasting contribution to our city and our home. 1 sapling is just Rs.100, 10 saplings Rs.1000 and 100 saplings Rs.10000. It is only collectively that we can hope to do something meaningful for Mumbai and the precious coastline of our city. For any contribution you make, Mumbai city and I will be most grateful.
