Protecting mangroves is a crucial step to lower planet-warming carbon emissions. These ecosystems store up to 1,000 tonnes of carbon per hectare in their biomass and soils. More info on the many benefits of mangroves:

🕊️🌿 Right next to a bustling bridge and spinning wind turbines, a mangrove nursery in Zhanjiang is quietly raising the next generation of egrets. In Tangwei Village, 20 hectares of mangroves serve as a natural breeding ground. Chicks wait in nests. Adults shuttle between mudflats and treetops. Life goes on, undisturbed. This is what harmony looks like: conservation and infrastructure, side by side. 🏗️🌱 #Mangroves# #Egrets# #Wildlife# #Zhanjiang# #Nature# #Conservation# #Wetlands# #Birdwatching# #China# #Biodiversity# #Harmony# #Environment# #Sustainability# #CoastalLife# 🔗 Full story:

#Zhanjiang# | The documentary Zhanjiang: Framed in a Sketchbook follows French artist Hervé Dauce and Chinese cartoonist Lin Dihuan (Xiaolin) as they explore the city's mangroves, old streets, and rich cultural heritage. Inspired by the journey, Dauce created more than 40 artworks, capturing Zhanjiang through fresh eyes. The collection will later be exhibited in southern France, building a new cultural bridge between China and Europe. 🇨🇳🤝🇫🇷 Dive in: #Guangdong# #ChinaFrance# #CulturalExchange# #Art# #Documentary# #DiscoverChina#

Data and technology play key roles in protecting ecosystems. This World Environment Day, TECH4ALL shows how tech-powered solutions help inform better decisions in Brazil's mangroves. Share to show your support and help advance informed environmental action.

A glimpse into the wild side of Shenzhen. 🐦🌿 From crabs in the mangrove wetlands to black-faced spoonbills soaring above the bay, every life finds its place in Futian Mangrove. Located in the heart of the city, Futian Mangrove is China’s only national nature reserve of its kind within an urban area — a vital stopover for migratory birds and a shared home for countless species. By preserving mangroves in the central area, Shenzhen stands out among the world's megacities. @SpoxCHN_MaoNing @iGuangdong @GO_Guangdong @XH_Lee23 @HKKoSir @dominictsz

Scientists made fish trip balls with magic mushrooms. It helped the fish with anger management. The research was done on a mangrove rivulus, a small Caribbean fish that is famously highly aggressive and territorial. If a stranger fish gets put into a mangrove rivulus's tank, it gets mad and will dart and lunge to chase the new fish out. Psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms) was added which the fish absorbed through the gills and skin. It chilled the fish out. > moved around 80-100 fewer seconds during the trial > 2 to 3 fewer angry lunges at the stranger fish Not all aggression was turned off, but the explosive attacks dropped. A lot of studies show mushrooms help with sadness and fear in mice and humans. Aggression has been understudied in modern psychedelic research, especially in social settings. Why it matters. A fish brain is old in evolutionary terms. Fish and mammals split off from each other something like 400 million years ago. If psilocybin can dial down aggression in a fish brain, the wiring for aggression has probably been conserved across that distance. The same brake could exist in humans.

Achieving "Fruit freedom" in #Yunnan#!🤩🥭🥥 In Xishuangbanna, tropical fruits such as wax apples, coconuts and mangoes planted along urban green belts have entered harvest season. Workers picked the ripe fruit on-site and distributed it free to local residents. Who wants one?

Pakistan-China Silk Road Mango Festival 2026 held in Guangzhou The Consulate General of Pakistan in Guangzhou hosted the Pakistan-China Silk Road Mango Festival 2026 at the Guangzhou Soluxe Hotel on July 26.
