EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the beauty and uniqueness of the Looking-glass Mangrove, locally known as Msikundazi, in its natural habitat in Mayotte, an island in the Indian Ocean. Belonging to the Sterculiaceae family, the Heritiera littoralis tree is a distinctive mangrove species, characterized by its smooth, mirror-like bark that reflects the surrounding water. The Looking-glass Mangrove is an essential component of the coastal ecosystem, providing shelter and protection to various marine organisms and serving as a vital source of food and nutrients for numerous bird and fish species. The serene image showcases the tree's reflection in a calm, shallow stream, creating an enchanting scene that highlights the harmony between the tree and its environment. The forest in the background adds to the lush greenery and completes the breathtaking tableau. Mayotte, an island located in the Indian Ocean, is home to various unique and diverse ecosystems, and the Looking-glass Mangrove is just one of its many wonders. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these natural habitats and the irreplaceable role they play in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
