Mangrove forests are one of the most ecologically valuable ecosystems in the world, being home to a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. The remaining mangroves in Macao which are in the coastlines of Taipa and Coloane are vulnerable to threats due to pressures from developments in the area. We hope that the materials from this website will bring more awareness and  encourage people to cherish this valuable habitat. Macao’s mangrove forest may not be much but you will be surprised by its biodiversity!
