This book outlines the performance and management of mangroves in
the changing climatic scenario of the Asia-Pacific region and draws
examples and lessons from the national and community-driven
mangrove conservation programs of relevant countries including
Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand,
Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan as well as the
Pacific islands. By highlighting the major drawbacks that hinder
effective mangrove conservation, the book contributes towards
enhancing climate resilience of communities through proposition of
corrective methods and ameliorative approaches of mangrove
conservation. Mangroves play an important role in adapting to
climate change and provide a plethora of ecosystem services that
are fundamental to human survival. Yet these ecosystems are
exceptionally prone to extinction due to increased human
interventions and changes in environmental boundary conditions.
Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, mangroves have dwindled at
an exceptional high rate over the past three decades. As the threat
of climate change hovers over millions of people in this region,
particularly those who crowd the low-lying coastal areas,
conservation/restoration of mangroves through appropriate policies
and practices remain highly imperative. The primary target readers
for this book are students and researchers in the fields of
conservation and management of mangroves, especially from the
developing tropical countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Other
target groups comprise policy planners, practitioners, and NGO
workers, who will be able to apply the collective knowledge from
this work towards proactive mangrove conservation through effective
mediation in local communities.
