Book (stand-alone)Financing for mangrove protection with emphasis on Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This publication was prepared for the ‘Income for coastal communities for mangrove protection’ project (2015-2016) which aimed to develop a low-cost mechanism enabling investors to responsibly promote mangrove conservation, carbon emissions reduction and sustainable development through the provision of funding to local communities. This report reviews sources of funding for mangrove protection with particular focus on Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam. Because of the role of mangroves in climat e change adaptation, climate change mitigation and disaster risk management, sources of financing targeting these objectives are included along with financing sources aiming specifically at mangrove conservation and restoration.
This is the first in a series of four publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection in Asia. The titles and links of the four publications are as follows: -
Book (stand-alone)Mangrove carbon estimator and monitoring guide 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Mangroves exist in the inter-tidal zone of sheltered tropical and subtropical coasts, and in Southeast Asia are home to 42 tree and shrub species found nowhere else (Giesen et al. 2006). These ‘true mangrove species’ and other associate species are adapted to marine and brackish conditions, and are capable of sequestering and storing large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This guide outlines a simple, low-cost methodology for measuring mangrove carbon stocks and monitoring mangroves in def ined project areas. The methodology for measuring mangrove carbon stocks was designed in collaboration with Yale University and was published in PLOS ONE journal in January 2017<.i>. This is the third in a series of four publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection in Asia.

Book (stand-alone)Mangrove related policy and institutional frameworks in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This study provides an overview of policy and institutional frameworks for mangrove management in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam. In spite of these values, mangroves in Asia continue to be converted to other land uses, and sustainable financing for their protection has not been forthcoming. This has resulted from limited length of project cycles, a lack of established PES schemes covering mangroves, unclear tenure, and the relatively small size of mangroves areas in relation to the economies of scale necessary to offset costs associated with accessing carbon payments.This is the second in a series of four project publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection, and provides a review of mangrove related policy and institutional frameworks in Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam.
