Reduce your impact on the planet while travelling by donating to WILDCOAST, an international conservation organization that raises money to plant mangrove forests in tropical coastal regions threatened by deforestation. Not only do these dense thickets absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their rich soil, but they also provide refuge to migratory birds, sea turtles and fish. In the past 20 years, WILDCOAST has already helped protect and restore 3,400 hectares of mangrove forests. It now aims to plant one million man- groves, one for every dollar contributed. wildcoast.org/millionmangroves
