Mangroves are special trees that grow near the sea. They are really good at cleaning the water and helping animals like birds. They can protect the seaside from big waves when there are big storms. They also help fight climate(气候) change by taking in CO2.
A new center called the International Mangrove Center (IMC) was opened in Shenzhen on November 6th,2024. The center was built by 18 different countries to protect mangroves. As a vital part of mangroves protection, it will help make rules for keeping mangoves safe. People share ideas on how to take care of mangroves and animals that live there. A professor from Tsinghua University thinks that the center will help people learn more about the mangroves and how to protect them.
From 2020, Shenzhen has done a great job protecting mangrove forests and the birds living in them. People are not allowed to use streetlights because it may hurt the birds' eyes at night. Shenzhen is showing how to bring back mangoves and make better places for them. It shows that cities can help take care of nature. With the help of the IMC, mangroves in Shenzhen will be better taken care of and grow better.
