When we went to Kuala Selangor, we had a time to learn about mangrove and plant them. Most of them in Malaysia are destroyed by their uses. Only 1 over 3 or 4 had survived and still living. They grow in wet land. Wet Land is a unique place where is filled with mud. They are also essential to enviroment.
First, wet land cleans trashes and polluted water. Animals, Insects and bacterias are the cleaners of the sea. They live in wet land and they break and destroy polluted water. Secondly, wet land defend us from disasters. When there is a tsunami, wet land absorbs the energy of the wave and changes into weaker wave. Wet land could also absorb and save water when there is flood. As they makes the disasters weaker, we get less damages.
Mangrove trees are very helpful. Planting mangrove is a way to save them. There are lots of living things in the mangrove forest. There are monkeys, birds and in insects. They are all important in wild life. Mangrove trees prevent salt from going into river. Another advantage of planting mangrove is they protect coastlines from wave and winds.
