Protect habitat to halt dwindling numbers
PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia's fish populations plummet, experts warn that some of the most familiar species could face local extinction within decades, but that timely action could still reverse the trend.
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.

Mangrove forests are short of breath
The tidal environment of mangrove forests serves as nurseries for many fish species. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have measured carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in 23 of world’s mangrove areas. The study sends out a warning that these ecosystems are increasingly threatened as sea temperatures continue to rise.

Smarter mangrove protection: Study links a 7.3% area boost to 13.3% resilience gain
A global study of mangroves has found that a modest boost in conserved areas could significantly increase their ability to adapt to the changing climate, including rising sea levels. University of Queensland Ph.D. candidate Alvise Dabalà led the analysis, which showed that safeguarding the coastal mangrove ecosystem didn't require huge expansions in protected areas, just smarter planning. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.
