The International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO in 2015. It is celebrated each year on July 26 and aims to raise awareness of the importance of mangroves as “a unique, special and vulnerable ecosystem”. It also aims to promote solutions for their sustainable management, conservation and uses.
