Imagine immersing yourself in a breathtaking view filled with the vibrant colors of ensurai trees (Dipterocarpus oblongifolius) in full bloom as you venture into the forest. However, these trees are not just here to make the forest look stunning; they are also the superheroes of our waterways, silently working behind the scenes. How do they do it? Well, these majestic trees are like nature's own engineers. Their roots hold riverbanks firmly in place and prevent erosion, resulting in cleaner, healthier water for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, their root systems may provide habitat for aquatic organisms. The flowers will eventually produce fruits that will drop into the river and provide food for fishes. So, the next time you spot ensurai trees blooming, remember that they are not just pretty; they are the guardians of our precious natural world.
