Since the end of World War 2, the world has lost approximately 50% of its mangroves, mainly as a result of destruction by humans for coastal developments.

Found mainly in the tropics and subtropics, mangroves are a unique species of trees and shrubs that thrive in saltwater. They are valued for their ability to protect coastlines, harbor wildlife and have a nutrient base on a par with the rainforests.

Photographer and videographer Sean Gallagher, travels to South-East China to report on a project aiming to save the remaining pockets of mangroves in China, on assignment for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

    Excellent work, Sean. As I have slowly been moving into using the 7D DSLR as a production tool, it is great to see a high quality, informative piece created with the 7D. The topic is very similar to the work I do hear in California, where over 90% of our coastal wetlands have been lost to direct or indirect development.

    Keep up the good work
