s:670:"TI Mangrove Monitoring for Climate Change Mitigation in India 
AU CIFOR-ICRAF 
AB Mangroves are recognized as one of the prominent naturebased solutions to climate change due to their capacity to store high levels of carbon and for enhancing resilience of ecosystems and living organisms to increased vulnerability. Global extent of mangroves is estimated to be ~ 150,000 square kilometers, distributed across more than 100 tropical countries. The mangroves have reduced by ~40% from their historical extent due to direct pressures caused by anthropogenic demands on mangrove resources and indirectly by the destruction of conditions suitable for mangrove survival.
