Mangrove forests are crucial to the health of the planet, gobbling up CO2 from the atmosphere and providing a home for a diverse array of species. But these rich habitats are under continual threat from deforestation and industry. In an empowering talk, conservationist and TED Fellow Ashwin Naidu shares how community-driven efforts in South and Southeast Asia are working to protect mangroves — all with a little help from the mysterious and endangered fishing cat.

Hi
One of the most uninteresting TED titles ever lol
Interesting species, and fascinating talk. Mangroves need to be kept as protected as possible, they’re so important. I hope the cute cat helps conservation efforts.
Fishing cats are relatively unknown and rather rare! Save them at all costs!
Love the video; very interesting subject. Hated puns; dislike.
