Mangroves are critically important wetlands in view of the variety of ecosystem functions they perform. Yet, they are witnessing widespread destruction, much to the peril of coastal communities. A better understanding of their role is of utmost importance for designing future management strategies.
Conservationists are aware that depletion of jungles and over harvesting limit the capacity of medicinal plants to proliferate. But a larger threat is the sensitivity of rare species to changes in temperature and humidity. With herbs and plants responding negatively to warming cycles, we are probably on the brink of losing not only our plants but also our legacy of traditional knowhow.
