5 जून विश्व पर्यावरण दिवस ( 5th June World Environment Day ) : "Plant More Trees, Make Environment Pollution Free , Save a Animals & Shelter for Animals"🌳🌴🌿🐄🐘🕊️🐦🐧🐌💦🏝️🌏🌎🌍🏞️💗🕉️❤️🙏

   " The symbolism – and the substantive significance – of planting a tree has universal power in every culture and every society on Earth, and it is a way for individual men, women and children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis."  

Mangroves Tree key to saving lives :-                                                  

 “If there are no mangroves, 

then the sea will have no meaning. It's like a tree with no roots, for the mangroves are the roots of the sea!

 

We are faced one more #

cyclone ( Mumbai Niagara

 Cyclone )

 ( 3rd June 2020 ). 

So let me remind you. #Mangroves;

- acts as buffer & reduce impact of cyclones & #storm surge.

- they break the #wind force

- provide #habitat to #animals during cyclone or otherwise

- they reduce #pollution. 

We just need to protect them. 

So how it works. Mangroves create a maze & dense habitat. With species which are salt tolerant & special adaptations. They act like buffer & consume the winds & energy. So after passing the storms get dampen. You must have read in ‘Theory of Vibration’. 

They are prop roots. In #mangrove #ecosystem they are adventitious support roots. They Grow down from lateral branches, in a way support trees, with doing other root functions. Additionally roots buffer against damage to coasts & enhance biodiversity & carbon sequestration.

These are called as #pneumatophores. Mangrove ecosystem has high amount of soil moisture & salt. To take air trees here build special Aerial #roots. Which come out from ground & can grow upto 30 cm. Then air is supplied to all parts of a tree. #Natural filters. 

Now as thick this #mangrove belt is, more effective it will be in resistance to #cyclones & other #disasters. They provide habitat to numerous wildlife species which makes the system healthy & balanced. 

#Mangrove #ecosystem is not static. It is dynamic, keeps changing. With size variety of #landscape increases. You see here a small #grassland inside mangrove belts. On one side destruction & on other creation. 

Habitat to not only herbivores but also hypercarnivorous apex #predator like this. One of the largest crocodilian #species on #planet, whose size can go upto 6 metre in length. A salt water crocodile. This one basking in sun at Sunderban. A stable & balanced system. 

Enough reasons to protect them.

Save Mangroves 🌿🍂
