7. Mangroves in Small
Islands
• Mangroves also grow in Small Islands
• Their remote location, small size, lower
carbon stocks, make them received less
attention.
• They are important for biodiversity and
livelihoods
• They are also very vulnerable and
difficult to restore
• We need to invest more to protect them.
