Lantern Beach Tree (Barringtonia asiatica) or Asian Lantern Beach Tree is a large, evergreen coastal tree found in the Philippines and other parts of the tropics. It is known for its large, glossy leaves and distinctive fruit capsules that resemble lanterns. These trees are crucial for coastal protection, acting as a natural barrier against wind and erosion. Their lightweight wood is used for crafting and fishing gear, while the seeds yield an oil with traditional medicinal uses. The lantern beach tree provides shade and habitat for coastal fauna, contributing to the health of beach ecosystems and plays a vital role in sequestering carbon, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation.
