Description: Siargao Island is a top destination for tourists in the Philippines. It’s home to a vast mangrove forest. These mangroves protect communities from the growing number of typhoons the region is experiencing as a result of climate change. 

Climate-driven cyclones have led to a 7% decrease in household incomes in the Philippines, according to research organisation Climate Analytics. Their research found that the annual damage will also increase by more than 7% by 2050.

While mangroves can protect homes and infrastructure from factors like storm surges, they are also susceptible to damage during typhoons.
