“The mangrove ecosystems, which provide breeding grounds for fishes, are excellent for shoreline protection and support livelihoods, as well as for cultural expression. “Looking at the fast-disappearing mangroves in the Niger Delta and other parts of the world, we see a trend that deprives people access to energy and ecosystems that support local livelihoods, which ought to have helped to mitigate the impact of climate change,” he stressed.
