Mangrove forests are growing again. These forests live near the sea. People once cut them down and damaged them for many years. Now, scientists say the mangroves are healing. They can grow back in muddy, wet areas. This is good news for people who live on the coast. Mangroves can help protect the shore from storms and strong waves. They also help the climate by storing carbon in their roots and soil. After a long time of harm, nature is starting to recover.
