Hey there! Have you heard about mangroves? 🌱 They’re special trees and shrubs that grow between the land and the sea. Recently, the Chinese mainland has released its first-ever plan to help restore these amazing plants! 🎉
Mangroves are super important because they protect the coast from big waves, help clean the water, and provide homes for lots of animals. 🐟🐤 They also soak up carbon dioxide, which helps fight climate change! 🌍
But sadly, mangroves around the world are in trouble. Pollution, rising sea levels, and other problems have caused many mangrove forests to disappear. 😢
That’s why scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have created new guidelines to help bring mangroves back to health. These guidelines tell people how to plant mangroves, take care of them, and check if they’re growing well. 🌿🌟
The goal is to increase the area covered by mangroves in the Chinese mainland from 27,100 hectares to 36,000 hectares by 2025! 🗓️ That’s like adding over 12,000 soccer fields of mangroves! ⚽️🏞️
This plan will not only help protect the environment but also support local communities by improving fishing areas and making the coast safer. It’s a big step forward in saving these wonderful ecosystems! 💚
So next time you think about the ocean or the coast, remember the mighty mangroves and how they’re making a comeback thanks to this new plan! 🌊👍
