I know mangrove trees are salt-resistant plants, but are there any topographical features that grow mangrove well enough for Cambodia to have a separate forest? 

In Cambodia, mangrove trees thrive along the coastal regions, particularly in the southwestern provinces like Koh Kong, Sihanoukville, and Kampot. These areas have the ideal topographical features for mangrove growth, such as coastal mudflats, estuaries, and tidal zones where saltwater from the sea mixes with freshwater from rivers.

I've seen articles that mangrove forests are being restored to ecosystems, but why are mangrove forests being destroyed? 

Mangrove forests are being destroyed mainly due to human activities like land conversion for agriculture, especially shrimp farming, and urban development along coastlines. Pollution and climate change also threaten mangrove ecosystems. Despite this, restoration efforts are ongoing because mangroves are vital for preventing coastal erosion, supporting wildlife, and acting as carbon sinks.

What’s the weather like in Cambodia these days? Have you ever felt that the weather is changing because of climate change? What do you think is the biggest change? One common direction in the environmental policies of Cambodia and South Korea is achieving carbon neutrality and expanding the use of renewable energy. In particular, both countries have set long-term strategies to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. I’m curious about the positive effects that could be achieved if Cambodia and South Korea were to strengthen their cooperation by signing more specific agreements and enacting laws related to carbon neutrality. Cambodia and South Korea are quite different in terms of their environmental conditions, but they still have many overlapping environmental policies. I'm curious about the reasons behind this. What common factors in climate change might be causing their environmental policies to align so closely?

Hi, My name is minji Won. I am a sophomore at Haneul High School. I like to play the piano. And I like to draw, too. It's nice to meet you and I look forward to your kind cooperation.
