About Nosso Mangue
The problem we're solving:
The startup aims to address pressing environmental and social issues in a coherent manner. These issues include hunger, a prevalent concern in Alagoas, where an alarming 36.6% of the population experiences this socioeconomic vulnerability. This figure is twice the national average of 15.5%, making it a critical concern. Additionally, Nosso Mangue aims to empower those in social vulnerability, transforming them into guardians of the mangrove forests. By doing so, the initiative not only aids these individuals but also helps protect these vital ecosystems. This effort is poised to provide them with income, sustenance, and an overall improved quality of life. Another formidable challenge tackled by Nosso Mangue is the deforestation of mangrove areas. Nationwide, around 20% of these ecosystems have already been lost, as documented by SOS Mata Atlântica. This deforestation not only threatens the mangroves themselves but also contributes to the release of greenhouse gases that had been captured during the photosynthetic process, exacerbating climate change concerns. The third obstacle addressed by the initiative is Brazil's notable contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, which stood at 12% in 2021.
