#savemangroves

Did you know? Mangroves are extraordinary ecosystems, located at the interface of land and sea in tropical regions, which offer a considerable array of ecosystem goods and services. Although the are found in 123 nations and territories, mangrove forests are globally rare. They represent less than 1% of all tropical forests worldwide, and less than 0,4% of the total global forest estate. Mangroves are disappearing three to five times faster than overall global forest losses, with serious ecological and socio-economic impacts. Management and restoration of mangrove ecosystems is an achieveable and cost effective way to help ensure food security for many coastal communities. Mangroves can play an important role in reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and increasing resilience to climate change impacts. #InternationalMangrovesDay #UNESCO #Mangroves #SaveMangroves #Conservation #like4like #likeforlike #likeforfollow #like4follow (di Lhokseumawe)
