Global Mangrove Alliance released 2022 "World Mangrove Status Report" ∣ Green Club International News

As a member of the World Nature Protection Alliance (IUCN), China ’s biological diversity protection and Green Development Foundation continues to pay attention to the latest developments in global natural protection and governance. A few days ago, the International Department of China Green Fair learned from the World Nature Conservation Alliance: "Climate Action of Mangroves: Climate Operation Promotional Partnership and Partnership announced that the Mangules for Climate Action: Global: Global: Global MANGROVE Alliance Launches New State of World MangRove Report, Annunces Climate Champion Partnership). The International Department of the Green Club now compiles this article for reference for interested readers.

With the help of more than 100 mangrove science, financial and policy experts around the world, the Global Mangrove Alliance released a new report, focusing on the benefits, stories, and global trends -and at the New York Climate Week, the UN climate action high level The new announcement of the advocate clarifies a way forward to promote the financing of mangrove operations.

Mangroves are the key ecosystems of biodiversity and human beings. A large number of areas have been lost, but the situation is changing. When we began to recognize the entire value of mangroves -such as carbon storage, fish habitats, coastal defense lines, etc.), we were putting in action to protect the remaining mangrove forests and began to restore plans.

The Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) released the annual report of the World Mangrove Status 2022, compiled the latest information we know about mangroves, and the measures we are taking to reverse the trend of the decline in coastal trees and the decline in coastal trees. Relying on their local communities.

With the joint efforts of more than 30 organizations, including the World Nature Protection Alliance, the Global Mangrove Alliance is committed to accelerating the protection and restoration of mangroves from all over the world.

高级海洋科学家马克·斯佩尔丁（Mark Spalding）说：“《2022年世界红树林状况》报告描述了我们对全球红树林的理解和多个希望点的激增：红树林的丧失正在下降，我们Knowledge to protect these ecosystems better than ever before, and partnership and global protection awareness are getting stronger. The trend of loss has not been reversed, but we are committed to maintaining the motivation to support mangroves to maximize the irreversible reversal to the greatest extent. The impact of climate change and a wider biological diversity crisis. "

Great benefits of mangrove operations:

It can only lock 2 million tons of carbon by preventing the loss of 1 % mangroves. The recovery that has been lost since 1996 can protect the carbon in the soil and the biological volume on the ground, which is equivalent to 1.27 billion tons of carbon dioxide -equivalent to more than 520 million barrels of oil, or the annual discharge of 49 million cars in the United States.

By 2030, especially in the 8,183 kilometers of Southeast Asia, the goal of the "half -recovered" global mangrove alliance in the recovery area may bring 25 billion commercial marine fish and shellfish. Small -scale fishermen and countless communities.

Mangroves can prevent more than $ 65 billion in property losses caused by storms and reduce the risk of floods of about 15 million people per year.

Mangroves are the most effective carbon capture and storage systems on the earth. At present, they store carbon that is equivalent to more than 21 billion tons of carbon dioxide.

New data available on global mangrove observations:

The report in 2022 shows that we can now obtain a wider and reliable knowledge of data update through the data update of the Global Mangrove Watch map -this is the basis The scope of information. New data shows that we still exist globally globally, with a mangroves of 147,000 kilometers, which is about the area of ​​Bangladesh. The same map shows the loss and increase of time over time.

Since 1996, the combination of direct influence (such as clearing and conversion), and driven by more difficult to manage the erosion, flooding or storm changes, the mangroves of the 5,245 konen have lost.

Although the average loss in the past ten years has fallen to 0.04 % per year, and the estuaries and Delta have increased greatly, it is still priority to stop the actions of further loss, protection of the remaining and restoring loss.

Promote Mangrove Action:

UN Climate Operation High -level advocates Nigel Topping and Mahmoud Mohieldin said in the report: "This scientific report is clear: if we want to implement it in COP26 The ambition to promise and improve the ambition to reach the Paris Agreement, we must rely on mangroves. The climate and adaptability and toughness of the people who live in the seaside sharing depends on it. "

The determination to protect mangroves is growing at all levels of society. It is increasingly obvious that state and local stakeholders will promote the implementation of improvement of management, protection and restoration of mangroves. Now, under the ambitions that the goals of the global mangrove alliance are linked with the targeted local background, the global mangrove alliance national chapters of the eight countries bring together members of the global Mangrove Alliance and local partners. In addition, global political ambitions are also growing. At the New York Climate Week, the Global Mangrove Alliance and the UN climate -operated high -level advocate announced the breakthroughs of mangroves. Protecting and restoring the mangrove ecosystem is part of the tough competition -has the following goals:

By stopping the loss of mangroves, restoring half of the recent losses, double protection globally, and ensure that all existing mangroves have sustainable long -term financing, invest 4 billion US dollars to ensure the future of 15 million hectares of mangroves worldwide in 2030.

Teams such as the Global Mangrove Alliance will issue further announcements at the UNFCCC COP27 held in Shamhayh in November this year and launch the action plan -the purpose is to encourage government leaders and various stakeholders to accelerate protection and restore red red red The efforts of the woods and increase investment to maintain the sustainability of mangroves.

Stewart Maginnis, deputy director of the World Nature Conservation Alliance, said: "The protection and restoration of mangroves represent excellent natural solutions to alleviate the climate, establish coastline toughness and protection Coastal biological diversity and fisheries. The World Nature Protection Alliance expects to cooperate with our global mangrove alliance partners and climate operations to cooperate with high -level advocates to accelerate the global ambitions of mangrove operations on the COP27. "

[About Global Mangrove Alliance]

In 2018, the World Nature Conservation Alliance and other global Mangrove Alliance (GMA). At present, the partnership includes more than 30 member organizations, which aims to expand the recovery of mangroves by expanding the protection and recovery of previous mangroves by fair and effectively expanding the previous mangroves. From a practical point of view, the Global Mangrove Alliance is committed to cooperation with local and community partners globally to support local research, advocacy, education and practice projects.
