Photo @lucalocatelliphoto Since Hélène and Fary have been breeding bees, which are more of a terror to the local population than hyenas, no one goes into the mangroves of Joal (central Senegal) to chop wood and damage this vital ecosystem. Beekeeping is proving to be a decisive resource for the protection of the environment and the economy: thanks to the June harvest, 40 kg of bronze-colored honey, born from mangrove flowers, will be sold at the village market. MANGROVES ARE THE ANSWER Follow MY EARTH IS BEATING #myEIB, a photo collection for climate by LuisaViaRoma @luisaviaroma and #LVRSustainable coordinated and shot by @NatGeo photographer @lucalocatelliphoto, shot by @NatGeo photographer @gabrielegalimbertiphoto, narrated by the journalist and curator @raffaelepanizza. For the next few days @luisaviaroma will be in Senegal with @extremeelive to document and to support the mangrove reforestation work promoted by @ong_oceanium and @to_creativeactivists WHEN THE EARTH BEATS, OUR HEARTS LISTEN. What about yours?
