NASA satellite study finds Earth's mangrove forests are making an unexpected comeback after decades of decline. But scientists warn the good news may not last forever

These vital coastal ecosystems protect communities and fight climate change by storing blue carbon. However, rising sea levels caused by climate change pose a significant long-term threat, according to scientists.
