One special feature of this island which best shows its natural beauty is its vast mangroves and wetlands, which is relatively larger than the average mangroves and wetlands found in the Maldives. In addition to its mangroves and wetlands, Kendhikulhudhoo has extremely healthy soil which contributes to its greenery in terms of growth of trees. Researches have identified this island’s species of living organisms and its environmental characteristics and unique areas. Because this island is inhabited, it is especially important to conserve its gentle and delicate ecosystem. Kendhikulhudhoo’s mangtove (kulhi) has environmentally unique features which adds to it overall natural aesthetic. The features of this area can be divided into 3 main categories.
