Mangroves in Chennai: Pichavaram and Muthupet’s Urban Guardians-Grow Billion Trees
Chennai, the vibrant capital of Tamil Nadu, boasts more than just bustling streets and serene beaches. Nestled along its coastline are two ecological marvels: the Pichavaram Mangroves and the Muthupet Mangroves. These mangrove ecosystems are not only biodiversity hotspots but also vital protectors of Chennai and its surrounding areas. Acting as natural barriers against storms, supporting livelihoods, and combating climate change, they are indispensable to the region’s environmental and economic health.
