If you ever travel to Cinnamon Island in Sri Lanka, your tour guide will take you in a small skiff across the Koggala Lagoon to reach it. Just prior to arriving at the island where cinnamon comes from, you'll slide into a long tunnel made of trees growing out of the water. The engine cuts and your world transforms, filled with the sounds of gently lapping water, bird calls, rustling reptiles and buzzing insects, shrouded in a cape of trees. For a minute or two you drift through the mangrove tunnel, enchanted by sounds and gentle breeze. It's a magical experience and one unique to the ecosystem created by the mangrove tree.
Mangroves are found near water throughout Asia and in the tropics. In 2015 UNESCO, seeking to preserve these precious natural resources, established International Mangrove Day. Then UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay explains:
"Mangroves, located in tropical regions where land and sea meet, form unique ecosystems whose benefit for human beings, the environment and biodiversity are considerable.[...] Yet today, the mangrove ecosystem is seriously threatened. It is estimated that global coverage of mangroves has been halved in 40 years, largely as a result of coastal development. [...] This International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem is an invitation to renew our efforts to support the preservation of an ecosystem that is vital for our planet and its inhabitants."
