Who We Are

Mangrove Nature Conservancy (MNC) is a dedicated environmental organization committed to the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems. We bring together passionate conservationists, scientists, community members, and global partners to safeguard one of the planet’s most vital natural resources, our mangroves.

Mission Statement

To restore and protect mangrove forests and other coastal ecosystems in Kenya by engaging communities, empowering youth, and promoting conservation through education, research, and restoration programs. Our aim is to enhance climate resilience, reduce coastal erosion, conserve biodiversity, and create sustainable livelihoods.

Our Vision

A thriving Kenyan coastline where healthy marine and coastal ecosystems sustain biodiversity, protect communities, and inspire future generations to be guardians of our natural heritage.

Our Work

What We Are Doing

At Marine Nature Conservation, our work focuses on four interconnected pillars that drive impact

Mangrove Restoration

We identify and rehabilitate degraded mangrove areas along Kenya's coastline using science-based planting techniques. Our restoration projects are led by trained community members and volunteers who ensure high survival rates and long-term impact.

Awareness Programs

We partner with coastal schools and community groups to deliver engaging environmental education programs that highlight the vital role of mangroves in sustaining life and livelihoods. Through these initiatives, we aim to inspire and equip the next generation with the knowledge, skills, and passion to become informed and empowered guardians of our natural heritage.

Marine Waste Management

We work with coastal communities to combat marine pollution through regular clean-ups, waste reduction campaigns, and advocacy for responsible disposal practices. By removing plastic waste from mangrove channels and beaches, we protect marine life, restore habitat health, and foster a culture of environmental responsibility.

Monitoring & Climate Impact Tracking

We combine community-based tools and advanced technology to monitor ecosystem recovery, track mangrove growth and survival, measure carbon sequestration, and assess biodiversity. This data-driven approach ensures transparency, improves restoration practices, and strengthens our ability to secure support for scaling our impact.
