Mangroves for the Future

With the support of the UN Office for the Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery, IUCN has led the initial development of the initiative "Mangroves for the Future: A Strategy for Promoting Investment in Coastal Ecosystem Conservation." Launched in September 2005, the Initiative aims to address the need for better regional and national coordination as well as the need for sustained investment in coastal ecosystem management. The initiative involves collaboration between multiple partners, including government agencies, NGOs and CBOs, research institutes and universities, UN agencies and other multilateral bodies. Mangroves for the Future involves countries affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Maldives, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Thailand. The video was presented at the donor roundtable discussion held on 12 September 2006 in New York.

he UNDP should widen its support for other countries outside of those affected by Tsunami, like the Philippines, which situated in the typhoon belt of southeast Asia. It should include in its initiative, " Mangroves for the Future Tsunami and Typhoon Recovery". Our government is currently being urged to pass a separate

bill for conservation and protection of mangroves HB 2861.

Hey where did you get these pictures? I'm going to make a presentation for my class and what you have here will fit it really well. Hopefully you can give me the link or something. Thanks.

This is not a video - it's just a series of still images nicely and digitally strung together, with a good soundtrack. Coasts offer a stunning array of moving image possibilities that can't be captured by the best of still images. While this is a good start, it does not do justice to the coastal diversity.
