These unique intertidal forests significantly maintain ecological balance, protect shorelines and support livelihoods. Mangroves consist of the mangrove tree, a shrub or tree, that grows mainly in coastal saline or brackish water. The mangroves in Asia represent some of the most extensive and diverse mangrove ecosystems globally. Southeast Asia holds approximately one-third of the world&#8217;s mangrove forests. Countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam are key regions with significant mangrove cover. These forests provide critical ecological services, including habitat for numerous species, coastal protection against erosion and storm surges, and carbon sequestration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As of 2020, 14.93% of the 2,139,308.93 km total coastline of the planet is designated as being mangrove forests. This equates to 147,358.99 km\u00b2 or 14,735,899.10 hectares (ha). Thailand accounts for less than 0.02% of this value (2,480 km and 277,923 ha).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/data.opendevelopmentmekong.net\/en\/library_record\/overview-of-the-mangrove-ecosystem-and-conservation-challenges-in-thailand\">Click here to view and download the Report.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">####<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u0e15\u0e34\u0e14\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21 K4D \u0e44\u0e14\u0e49\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e41\u0e1e\u0e25\u0e15\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e21\u0e15\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07 \u0e46 \u0e40\u0e0a\u0e48\u0e19&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/K4D.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/k4d_org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/96146826\/admin\/feed\/posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>&nbsp;\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e2d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e42\u0e1e\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e40\u0e01\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e42\u0e04\u0e23\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e38\u0e23\u0e31\u0e01\u0e29\u0e4c\u0e1b\u0e48\u0e32\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e40\u0e25\u0e19 \u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e07\u0e34\u0e19\u0e04\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e1a\u0e2d\u0e19 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s ever-changing world, where we navigate a landscape overflowing with information, the ability to make sense of data and use it for informed decision-making becomes essential.
