A team of Central American journalists has been awarded our 2026 Historias Sin Fronteras reporting grant for a cross-border project that will explore how vulnerable coastal communities are transforming a threatened ecosystem into a source of resilience with a tangible strategy for climate adaptation, ecological conservation, and economic survival.

Against the backdrop of recent extreme weather events associated with La Niña, mangroves constitute critical natural infrastructure but they are under severe environmental threat. This project will illustrate how beekeeping in mangrove ecosystems can generate stable income and provide a solution that demonstrates that climate resilience is not only necessary, but it can also be both viable and profitable.
