Mangroves and climate change

The World Atlas of Mangroves has been published by Earthscan as an output of a joint project implemented since 2005 by ITTO, the International Society of Mangrove Ecosystems (ISME – project implementing agency), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), UNESCO-Man and Biosphere (UNESCO-MAB), UNU-Institute for Water Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). The Atlas project received majority funding from ITTO through a Japanese Government grant. More than 100 top international mangrove researchers and organizations have provided data, reviews and other input.
