Yesss!!! Bloody love #Mangroves me, let's hope this trend continues!

<TLDR>
"A new global dataset spanning 40 years of satellite observations shows rates of mangrove loss and degradation has slowed substantially in just the past decade.
Mangrove forests are one of the most threatened ecosystems on Earth.
Rapid declines due to deforestation and shoreline erosion have threatened their crucial role in climate regulation, coastal protection and biodiversity.
Recovery has been driven by mangroves expanding into new habitats and regenerating in former ones."

DoomsdaysCW#MangroveForests are healing after decades of human destruction

"The world's coastal #mangrove forests, which protect millions of people from storms - and soak up vast amounts of planet-warming gases - are staging an unexpected comeback, scientists find.
"For decades these swampy trees had been declining rapidly as they were cleared for fish farms and housing.
"But a new study shows that since 2010 the world has been gaining more mangroves than it has been losing - driven by stronger #LegalProtections and increased #PublicAwareness of their importance, sparked by disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
"The researchers say the key factor though is the remarkable capacity of these forests to #regenerate naturally once humans stop chopping them down.
"Mangroves are one of the world's unsung #environmental heroes.
"Not only do they store up to five times more #CarbonDioxide than land-based forests, but their tangled roots can also slow down waves and protect coastal communities from #StormSurges and #tsunamis.
"These same roots provide a perfect nursery for many species of fish and other #MarineLife - protecting them from predators and providing ample food.
"These benefits, though, have come under serious threat over the past century as the rise of fish farming, agriculture and the expansion of coastal cities and towns have seen mangroves chopped down and rapidly removed.
"From the 1980s to 2010, over 12,000 sq km (4,600 sq miles) of mangroves were cleared or destroyed across #Asia, #Africa and the #Americas - an area the size of Jamaica.
"However, the new study shows a real reversal of that trend, particularly over the last decade. The total net losses - the forest lost and not replaced - since the 1980s have now been reduced to around 849 sq km (328 sq miles)."

Global mangrove forests rebound, offering hopeful sign for climate and coastal resilience
Researchers at Tulane University have found that the world’s mangrove forests are no longer in decline and have shifted to overall growth in recent years. Using four decades of satellite data, a new study shows that natural regeneration, expansion into newly formed coastal habitats and conservation efforts have largely offset decades of mangrove loss, offering a rare conservation success story and a hopeful sign for climate resilience.
EgbertA bit of good news. Since 2010 the growth of mangrove forests is larger than the loss. The researchers say the key factor is the remarkable capacity of these forests to regenerate naturally once humans stop chopping them down.
