Mangrove forests are growing back. These forests are in wet coastal areas. People harmed them for many decades. Now, scientists say the mangroves are healing. They can protect the shore from storms and strong waves. They also help the climate by storing carbon in the soil. This is good news for people who live near the coast. When mangroves come back, the water stays safer and nature has a better chance to return. The comeback is surprising, but it shows that nature can recover.
