This paper presents findings from a study of 2 coastal sites in the Philippines that are renowned and often showcased as success stories in community-based, mangrove reforestation and management. These cases are especially intriguing because local tree planting and management emerged in both areas ...
As part of habitat preservation, Aramco Malaysia, in collaboration with the Global Environment Center (GEC), initiated its mangrove planting program with participation from both organizations alongside students, teachers and community members.
Cathay Pacific’s 1 Ticket, 1 Tree initiative will see trees planted in various mangrove forests across South-east Asia as part of its sustainability efforts. Every ticket sold via its website from Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia, from November 1 ...
In the Philippines, the relative abundance of mud crab (Scylla olivacea) and two other noncommercial species was used to separate the effects of habitat from fishing pressure and recruitment limitation. A comparison of mud crab populations in rehabilitated, natural, and degraded sites in the ...
16. PSF has been commonly drained and converted into industrial tree and agricultural plantations13with the forest area further reduced by fire17. Aquaculture ponds and agriculture have largely replaced mangroves18, with remnant areas degraded through timber extraction and other land uses. Habitat ...
Mangrove restoration pathways that maximize carbon sequestration potential have been explored, but these have mostly postulated questions related to tree species selection11,12, or how attaining restoration might occur most efficiently (e.g., natural process vs. active facilitation; monoculture vs. mixed...
Subgroup analyses were conducted for (a) restoration tree species (e.g.R. apiculata;R. mucronata;A. marina; single species; mix-species), (b) restoration methods (plantation; hydrological rehabilitation without planting), (c) restoration species origin (native; exotic) and (d) broad restoratio...
The criteria for damage to mangrove plants are divided into five classifications, namely: namely: namely: a value of 0 (healthy) is given if the tree planting is not damaged or 100% live; a value of 1 (mild) if small parts (0–25%) of the tree planting are died from pest attack;...

We provide such a detailed assessment for the case of Olango and Banacon Islands in the Philippines where the forest was created over a limestone reef where mangroves did not exist in one island but they covered most of the other island before deforestation in the 1940s and 1950s. The ...
