It takes #mmm6 to bring our #mangrove research team together because with all the parallel fieldwork in multiple countries this never happens in Brussels 🇧🇪.

In the closing talk Farid DAHDOUH-GUEBAS presented results from >1000 #mangrove questions, prioritising local need-driven and not only curiosity-driven research. The talk ended in a unique cinematographic comedy on #MMM6 history through Minecraft. Will the film be available on YouTube ?

A few beautiful moments have no words to express.. good team.. great works always..bravo.. MMM6 - Colombia Farid DAHDOUH-GUEBAS SERM TROPIMUNDO

How many of our attendees to #MMM6 would like to bring home the 'Mangrove ringtone' in your cellphones to celebrate conservation optimism, and to ignite Science+Art dialogue?

The MMM6 - Colombia mood is officially in town. The following 6 days have been waited for since MMM5 Mangrove Meeting and one of the most memorable things is just spending quality time together.
