November’s climate action projects with Ecologi
Every month we support two different impact-driven climate projects.
Here’s the summary:
Phoenix Wharf, as part of Istoria Group, supported a project that plants mangroves in Mozambique, providing the local developing community flood protection along with a habitat for fishing, a local food source. The retail and hospitality interior design team also supported reforestation in Scotland, creating habitats that support biodiversity.
Coastal Mangrove Planting in Mozambique
Funded by: Istoria Group
Date funded: 02 May 2024 (check-in post cyclone)
⚲: Irregele Milato, Mozambique
Despite facing extreme weathers recently, namely the tropical cyclone Freddy, the mangrove project continues. The local community rely on this habitat for fishing, agriculture and charcoal production. The loss of habitat has led to an increase in flooding, causing further damage to the ecosystem, and people’s homes and property.

Date funded: 02 October 2024
⚲: Various Locations, Scotland, UK
Reforestation in Scotland covers a range of locations, Dumyat, Isle of Mull, Blaeloch Hill and Burnbrae, and covers 959 ha in total. Each project highlights how reforestation can benefit the local habitats in different ways.
