Mangrove Resources
Rainforestation is primarily focused on terrestrial, forested ecosystems. Because some of the trainers are also working on forest restoration in mangrove areas, though, we have added this page to provide them with resources that might prove useful.
Mangroves for the Future:
Mangroves for the Future (MFF) unites governments and NGOs (including UNDP, IUCN, CARE, FAO, UNEP, Wetlands International, NORAD, and SIDA) in the Indian Ocean region to “strengthen the environmental sustainability of coastal development; and to promote the investment of funds and efforts in coastal ecosystem management.” Although the Philippines is not a MFF member country, the website nevertheless contains a number of documents and other resources that are relevent to the Philippines.
Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation:
This website features the work of Dr. Jurgenne Primavera, the foremost researcher on mangroves restoration in the Philippines. The website includes numerous useful research publications and other links.
