Land Degradation Neutrality: Achieving SDG 15 by Forest Management

Abstract

Coastal areas are the fundamental boundary between the two major components that are the land and sea that cover our planet. They are designed to provide multiple ecological services and harbor diverse groups of semi-terrestrial and marine species. Coastal communities living in close proximity to these areas depend on marine and coastal resources to secure income and food, especially in develo** countries. Coastal ecosystems are usually under severe pressure due to various economic interests and development needs by humans coupled with climate change. The future of the mangrove is uncertain; despite various policy approaches by authorities to sustain mangroves from imminent loss, mangrove forests are still being severely destroyed or left degraded at an alarming rate 3–4 times faster than terrestrial forest types.
