Sharjah24: Khor Kalba's mangrove reserve has been around for hundreds of years and is home to several endangered species of animals and birds.
The reserve improves the effectiveness of flood protection measures, increases fisheries, decreases flood severity, and promotes ecotourism.

About 625,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide may be absorbed and stored in the reserve, helping in the fight against climate change and global warming.

The Environment and Protected Areas Authority in Sharjah is in charge of protecting the land and marine life in the historic reserve, and they have overseen its recovery.

The authority is making an effort to keep an eye on local communities, relocate the reserve's components, and restore the area's coastal ecosystems.

Mangrove planting has been on the rise in the UAE despite widespread challenges to the ecosystem.
