A CARNIVAL dedicated to the preservation of mangroves will be held near the Futian Mangrove National Nature Reserve Administration Bureau on Friday, which is International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem.

Participants can expect a lively celebration including music and dance performances. A large maze designed to promote knowledge about nature will be present. Different types of mangrove trees, including Kandelia candel, the oriental mangrove, and the blind-your-eye mangrove, will be illuminated with beautiful lights.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to adopt a young mangrove and care for it for one year before returning it to the Futian mangrove wetland.

Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with mangrove experts and environmental conservation proponents from around the world and enhance their knowledge of environmental preservation. Citizens are encouraged to register for nature reserve activities by scanning the QR code.

Before the night carnival, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the Futian Mangrove National Nature Reserve, a lush and tranquil area nestled in urban Shenzhen. The mangrove wetland, covering 367.64 hectares, is located in the northeast of Shenzhen Bay and is the only national nature reserve in downtown Shenzhen.
