ABOUT US ROVE GARDEN

LET’S START OUR JOURNEY

Rove Garden to introduce the importance of conservation to the public through a mangrove arboretum. This arboretum is designed as a centre for education and research on mangrove ecosystems, while also serving as a collection site for various mangrove species to be further developed.

We host various educational programs,including workshops, galleries, and immersive interactive experiences, allowing people to gain a deeper understanding of the vital role mangroves play in maintaining environmental balance and supporting coastal ecosystem restoration. Through the process of understanding nature, love grows accordingly, because we “Learn, to Love.”

Education

What is Mangrove?

Mangroves are coastal forest ecosystems that grow in tidal areas, especially in tropical and subtropical areas such as river estuaries and protected beaches. Mangrove plants have the unique ability to live in environments with high salt content and muddy soil with minimal oxygen, thanks to special roots such as pencil roots/breathing roots, prop roots, knee roots, board roots, air roots, banir roots, without air roots. This ecosystem plays an important role in maintaining environmental balance, such as preventing coastal abrasion, dampening waves, becoming a habitat for various types of animals, and absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

In addition, mangroves also provide economic benefits to coastal communities, especially in the fields of fisheries and ecotourism. Because of their important role, mangroves need to be protected and preserved from the threat of damage due to human activities and climate change.

Mangrove Forest Zoning & Its Types

  • Front Zone This is the zone that faces the sea directly. Plants that make up the front zone can be seen from the shape of their roots, which are dominated by the shape of breathing roots/pencils. Plants that grow in the front zone can be classified into several types, such as Sonneratia spp and Avicennia spp.
  • Middle Zone This is the zone in the middle/affected by the ebb and flow of sea water. Plants that make up the middle zone can be seen from the shape of their roots, where the roots are in the form of supporting roots. Plants that grow in the middle zone are dominated by the Rhizophora spp type.
  • Back Zone This is the zone behind/rarely affected by the ebb and flow of sea water. Plants that grow in the back zone can be classified into several types, such as Bruguiera spp, Ceriop spp, Xylocarpus spp, and Pemphis acidula
Why Mangrove Conservation?

Mangrove conservation is important because mangroves protect the coast from abrasion, flooding, and large waves such as tsunamis. Mangrove roots also help maintain water cleanliness and prevent pollution. In addition, mangroves are a habitat for many animals such as fish, crabs, and birds, which are beneficial to fishermen and surrounding communities. Mangroves also help absorb greenhouse gases and reduce the impact of climate change. If mangroves are damaged, the coastal environment can be more vulnerable and communities will lose many benefits.

Therefore, mangroves need to be protected and preserved.

Mangrove Adoption Results

Mangrove planting activities have been successfully implemented by involving local communities to plant hundreds of seedlings in coastal areas to support environmental conservation.
