Hé you...
do you sometimes 'look'-up-things-on-the-web' ?
or do 'some-serious-research' ?
Still using those data-mining giants like 'Google' or 'Bing' ?
AND YOU STILL LIKE POSTS LIKE THESE ?
Start using 'Ecosia' instead. Also free but plants trees instead of lining pockets.
It requires you only to change your settings on your phone, lap- or desktop. So you'll use Ecosia as your standard search engine !
Come on. Plant some trees [without even noticing it]
OK back to the video:

To support our work you just need to switch to Ecosia as your search engine. It’s easy and for free: -> ecosia.co/join <-
Wetlands and mangrove ecosystems specifically are literally nature’s home-made flood protection. But most mangrove landscapes have disappeared and about 70 mangrove species are at risk of extinction. Restoring mangrove sites isn’t all that easy and, in fact, even us at Ecosia weren’t doing everything right. We realized we had missed something crucial…
️Time stamps
00:00-02:18 Why are mangroves crucial?
02:18-4:34 Mangroves, explained
4:34-5:50 Mangroves VS seawalls
5:50-8:03 When mangroves disappear
8:03-9:02 The mistake we made
9:02-11:50 Won’t the trees be cut down again?
11:50-12:27 Will rising sea levels kill mangroves?
12:27-13:00 Surprising, positive news
13:00-13:30 What else can we do?
13:30-13:59 The easiest way to protect landscapes

A young elephant gives itself a good belly rub on plants growing out of a termite mound while other elephants graze in the background. The young elephant looks ecstatic! Photographed in the Masai Mara in Kenya.
