The mangroves at Balandra have been here for about 8000 years At high tide… The inner lagoon in the middle of the forest is inaccessible by land Accessible only by kayak through a meandering channel At low tide… The same place at high tide… The fallen leaves are the “fuel” that run the ecology of the system On the border between sea and land This swamp forest is in great shape Best be keep it this way for future generations Photographed by: Yoav Bashan Presentation by: Juan Pablo Hernandez
