“Look! Here is a black - faced spoonbill (琵鹭) at the Futian Mangrove Ecological Park (红树林生态公园),” said Yan Zihan, a 15 - year - old student from Shenzhen, Guangdong. 1
Some experts said, “Spoonbills can live happily in Shenzhen because mangroves provide them with food and home. Generally, the special plants grow in warm places by the sea.”
2 So its mangrove area has increased from 22,000 hectares (公顷) in 2001 to 30,300 hectares today, making China one of the few countries in the world with an increase in mangrove areas.
In 2023, the world’s first international mangrove centre has been set up in Shenzhen. 3 Local government has tried hard to protect mangroves. For example, back in the 1990s when the city was building a road along the coast, instead of just cutting down the mangroves, they decided to move the road 260 metres to the north. 4
The protection of mangroves is also good for the people living in Shenzhen. The park hosts fun events like the spoonbill festival and the otter (水獭) festival. 5 Students can learn about nature through programmes like researching mangroves or designing the park. From 2019 on, over 3,000 students and teachers have taken part in educational activities about wetlands at the park.

A.China works hard to protect mangroves.
B.He felt very excited to see this kind of endangered birds.
C.People can join in games and create picture books about the animals.
D.The city is home to 296.18 hectares of mangroves.
E.This decision helped to save the important mangrove ecosystem in the city.
