Half of the world's mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse due to climate change, mainly from sea level rise, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's first global assessment.
Mangroves act as a buffer against storms and cyclones, providing protection for millions of people living along coastlines, estuaries, and areas prone to severe weather events.
Mangrove ecosystems are crucial for wildlife, serving as habitats for various animals like birds, crabs, and fish, with some fish using mangroves as shelter when they are young to hide from predators.
