These two mangroves are formed in the wetlands that are situated on the south east side of Hithadhoo island in Addu Atoll. In the past, these two mangroves were originally one single area. However, since there is a road formed in between them, in order to designate them as protected areas, they have been proposed as two separate mangroves named ‘Medhe aara Kilhi’ and ‘Fehela Kilhi’. Since it is a wetland area, it absorbs the rain water, and protects the island from flooding. As the soil of this area is rich and fertile, some people use it to for agricultural purposes as well.When we look at the plants that grow in this environment, Black Mangrove/ Lumnitzera racemose (burevi), which is known to grow in mangrove areas, can be observed to some extent. Apart from this, Sea Hibiscus (Dhihgaa), Portia tree (Hirudhu) and Thatch Screw Pines (Boakashikeyo) can be seen in large numbers as well. A plant named ‘Kaafaruburu’ is also seen growing in these mangroves. This plant was not observed in these areas before, and has been introduced more recently. Due to the dense growth of these plants, the mangroves have been draining. This is likely to endanger the lives of the fish living in these areas. As a result, this may reduce the numbers of birds flocking to this area. In order to protect the lives of the species living here, it is essential to clean this area. In addition, creatures which can be harmful to this environment should also be studied to prevent their introduction to this area. Since this area is utilised for agricultural purposes, the usage of chemicals and cutting down trees should also be monitored and done systematically so that this area is protected. Ultimately, it is important to preserve this area in order to protect the living organisms in it.
