flag Mangrove forests in the Maldives are dying due to rising sea levels, potentially accelerating climate change.

flag Recent research shows mangrove forests in the Maldives are dying due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. flag Over 25% of the islands with mangroves lost more than half their cover since 2020. flag Warmer sea temperatures and increased sea levels, linked to the Indian Ocean Dipole, have led to salt stress in mangroves, causing them to die off. flag This loss could release stored carbon, accelerating climate change. flag The study warns of similar risks for other coastal ecosystems worldwide.
