✦AI Summary
A global study indicates that the decline of mangrove forests has slowed, with net gains observed since 2010 due to conservation and regeneration efforts. While not a full recovery, this trend is significant given the vital role mangroves play in carbon storage, biodiversity, and coastal protection.
Every July 26, people around the world observe the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, commonly known as World Mangrove Day . UNESCO established the observance in 2015 to raise awareness of the importance of mangroves and promote their sustainable conservation and management.
