Mangrove is now less seen in Singapore and they have been slowly extinct and maybe they will be gone forever. So, now, we shall try to keep the mangrove in good condition and protect our natural environment.

COMPARISON OF THE TWO MANGROVE
Through our research, we found out that the mangroves from different period of times have indeed transformed drastically. These mangroves have changed their characteristics and shapes due to the different environment that they are exposed to. In the past, these mangroves found under the Great Barrier Reef which is an extremely cold environment. The mangrove that resides there was able to withstand the extreme temperatures. The modern day mangrove that we see now has adapted to the extreme weather conditions. Climate cha
nge is active now and this causes the weather to change very quickly, these mangroves have to learn to adapt such situation and we feel that mangroves are extremely impressive to withstand such conditions.The past mangroves have changed in many ways such as the way it looks and the way it functions as the time passed. This shows that they are very adaptable species and can change itself to suit itself to the environment. Using the mangroves as an example, we learnt that we as, humans, have to adaptive as well. We should not always be constantly complaining about our pathetic situation. We feel that the right way to do is to learn to adapt which is one of our school values.
Also, through our intensive research, we discovered that mangroves play an extremely role. By that we do not mean the fact that they are home to many speci
es, but to the cause that they are nature’s creation. Mangrove Swamps are usually put in a bad light where it is muddy and dirty therefore people generally view it as a dirty place which is not worth going. This to some extent is true as species rely on the muddy and dirty environment to survive, one example is the mudskipper. However, we strongly feel that if we look at another point of view, mangrove swamps can be beautiful in the sense that their roles and adaptations are unique.
For example, mangrove swamps live near coastal areas which are placed where oxygen are rich. However, mangroves do not get obtain oxygen from their leaves like other plants do, they tap the oxygen in the air with the help of breathing roots which are protrude out of the soil like needles. This is one of the unique adaptations of the modern day mangrove. And of course, the olden day mangroves had evolved into what we modern people see today. Mangroves are a part of nature hence we should preserve them as much as we can.
