Nature-Based Solutions for Cyclone Resilience

Cyclone Senyar is a big storm expected to hit the Bay of Bengal by late November 2025.

It could cause heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding in places like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh.

Scientists say that building more natural things like mangroves, wetlands, and coral reefs can help protect these areas.

These natural solutions can reduce the damage from storms and are also good for the environment and the economy.

For example, mangroves can cut down storm surges by up to 50 per cent, and coral reefs can reduce wave force by up to 90 per cent.

Investing in these natural solutions can save money in the long run and make communities safer.
