Islands Losing Their Natural Defenses?!

Low-lying islands are in big trouble—some have already lost their natural ability to fight rising sea levels, thanks to human interference and concrete seawalls. But here’s the wild part: islands with healthy ecosystems are actually growing or staying stable! Turns out, seabird poop (yep, guano) helps coral reefs grow faster, which keeps islands alive. Conservationists are racing to restore these natural defenses by getting rid of rats and invasive plants. Nature’s solutions are literally saving islands! #ClimateCrisis #IslandLife #Conservation #Science
