Description

Encouragingly, over recent years the global loss of mangroves has largely stabilised, and gains have occurred in and around many of the world’s large rivers, estuaries and deltas. These findings are based on satellite imagery, and as such local conditions and extent may differ, it is therefore important to also utilise local knowledge and field data to have a more complete understanding of the global status of mangrove ecosystems.
