In China, the total area of mangrove forests has reached 30,300 hectares, increasing significantly from 8,300 hectares since the beginning of the current century, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. This progress is the result of China's efforts to protect and restore mangrove trees, which play an important role in cleaning marine water, mitigating the effects of wind and waves, and preserving biodiversity.
In the last five years, more than 8,800 hectares of mangrove trees have been planted in China, and an additional 8,200 hectares have been restored, according to the words of a management representative. Since the end of 2012, more than a million hectares of wetland areas have been created or restored, while the total area of wetlands in China remains stable at over 56.35 million hectares. Additionally, over 2,200 natural reserves have been created across the country for wetland areas, with key wetland zones showing significant ecological improvements.
