Mangrove Forests. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Mangrove forests, beautiful mangroves
Vital for ecosystem and water species
Fishes, and shrimps they give protection
As well as convenient habitat in safety.

Mangroves place of bio diversity
Strengthens the ecosystems of rivers and lakes
An ideal place to fish farming it provides
As well as the natural beauty and greenery.

Mangrove forests in the brink of destruction
The human intervention and land filling
Conservation of mangroves a necessity
And planting mangroves is only solution.

Mangrove forests the great asset of earth
Water sources from rivers, lakes makes clean
The recharging of water through mangroves
May be a great boon to rejuvenation of rivers.

Visual treat, beautiful it is from mangroves
In distant vision it gives such pleasantry
The birds different types and colors plenty
Their lovely natural habitat one is mangroves.

May the coverage of mangrove forest increased
Through the tree sapling planting and conserve
Hundreds of acres of vacant river embankment
Make it green through mangrove planting
A great help to maintain the clean environment.
