Mangroves are a critical part of our world's ecosystems. They protect our shorelines from erosion, act as a habitat for thousands of species, and their soils provide effective carbon sinks. Journey to a mangrove nursery in a nearby village, where you can try planting mangrove plants while learning about conservation efforts from the local community.
The island of Bintan is home to the Gudem Bee Farm, where stingless bee colonies thrive. These bees are unique because they do not sting, and are smaller than other bee species, thus making them easier to handle and less aggressive towards humans. Visit this farm to taste raw stingless bee honey, both in its natural form or mixed into a beverage, and learn how locals care for the bees and harvest their honey.
