On the very conservative assumption that a mangrove absorbs at least 5 kg of CO2 every year for at least 25 years, you bind approx. 1.83 tons of CO2 per year with what was planted for you. The same amount is added again the next year, and so on. In this way, you are working towards gradually offsetting your entire CO2 footprint and thus becoming climate neutral. An example: After 5 years, your already planted 1825 mangroves already bind approx. 9.13 tons of CO2 every year and thus a large part of the average CO2 footprint/person in Germany.

Boris Herrmann, one of the world’s best ocean racing yachtsmen, the Mama Earth Foundation in the Philippines and the founder of the Meaalofa Foundation gGmbH, Andreas Müller-Hermann, launched the Malizia Mangrove Park project in 2020. The aim is to plant five million mangroves in the bay of Mati in the south of Mindanao, the southernmost island of the Philippines. In the meantime, the project has developed very well and thanks to your help, more than two million mangrove trees have already been planted (as of end of October 2024). One mangrove binds at least 5 kg of CO2 per year, in reality often up to 10 kg. Averaged over a period of 25 years, this means a considerable CO2 reduction.

Boris Herrmann and his team Malizia are promoting this project. The Mama Earth Foundation is on site, organizing all measures in the Philippines and involving local residents and the local university. The Meaalofa Foundation gGmbH helps to coordinate the various partners and sponsors and covers the costs of the advertising material.
