Mangroves and other coastal
ecosystems act as natural defenses to reduce the risks from
flooding, erosion and natural disasters. Yet the value of
these habitats is often not fully accounted for in policy
and management decisions, and thus they continue to be lost
at alarming rates. Using natural capital accounting, we can
measure and value the services provided by these coastal
ecosystems, and thus inform policies for sustainable
development, disaster risk reduction, and environmental
conservation. A new report measures and values the coastal
protection benefits of mangroves in the Philippines. |
