Why Are Mangroves Important?

Marie Gorettie Dinganasy, • TEDxYouth@Antananarivo

This 16-year-old sporty and dynamic fisherman's daughter is an activist committed to protecting the environment. It's not easy when you're 16 to defend values that can sometimes be misunderstood. Its objective: to protect the fauna and flora of the mangroves of its region in Ambanja in Madagascar. She therefore traveled a thousand kilometers to come and talk to us about it.
