Mangroves store the equivalent of 22.86 gigatons of CO2. It’s critical to protect what remains, restore what we can, and halt further loss to prevent irreversible #CimateChange and biodiversity loss.

What do you know about pangolins?🤔
They are primarily nocturnal animals & are easily recognised by their full armour of scales.
And there are 8 species but 2 of them are listed as Critically Endangered by @IUCNRedList.

Have you ever seen a cormorant basking in the sun with its wings spread?
They most likely do so to help dry their feathers after diving and fishing. 🌊🪶
