I feel that mangroves are important as it has several medicinal purposes like for treating skin disorders and sores. The ashes or bark infusions of certain species of mangrove can be used to be treated. Mangroves are also a source of timber, fuel, railroad ties and tannin in the tropics. Having a short crop rotation period makes red mangroves a popular choice for posts and poles in managed forests in Malaysia. In Asia, commercial mangrove production is necessary for the construction of boats, houses and furniture. Mangroves should also be conserved as there is not many mangroves left.
This trip to Sungei Buloh was fruitful as I got to learn many interesting facts about flora and fauna, and the beauty of nature.
