📊 🌍 Climate Fact Of The Day

Mangroves are one of the planet’s most vital and underrated ecosystems—natural storm barriers, carbon sinks, and fish nurseries all in one. A single hectare of mangroves can store over 1,000 tons of carbon, making them more effective at carbon sequestration than rainforests. They protect millions living along coastlines by reducing storm surge impacts by up to 66%. Yet, they’re disappearing three to five times faster than forests, largely due to coastal development, shrimp farming, and rising sea levels. Countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh have made notable strides in mangrove restoration, recognizing their role in climate resilience—especially for low-lying, flood-prone areas.
