The total area of global mangrove forests in 2000 was 137,800 square kilometers (53,200 square miles), covering 118 countries and territories. [1] "
"Mangroves are salt resistant trees, also called halophytes, and are adapted to live in harsh coastal conditions. They contain complex salt filtration systems and complex root systems to cope with salt water immersion and wave action. They adapt to the low oxygen conditions of the waterlogged mud. [2] "

We hope that more and more young people will care about the environment, especially mangroves. because there are so many benefits of these mangroves for us.
The benefits of mangrove forest conservation are:
- Protecting natural ecosystems to maintain ecosystem balance.
- Protect the flora and fauna in it, to keep these species from becoming extinct.
- Protecting the ecosystem from damage, whether caused by human factors or natural factors.
- Keeping the environment in order to stay awake.
- Maintaining natural ecosystems is also unique.
