- W2341317170 abstract "Being fragile ecosystem, mangroves are under threats throughout the world. Various techniques and methodologies are under vogue in different countries for conservation of mangroves. Local communities as an important stakeholder can play effective role in mangroves conservation. As in the case of Pakistan, the Indus delta alone spread over 0.6 million ha and has mangroves over an area of 0.16 million ha along the coastline. The most significant characteristic of Indus delta is that it receives an average of only about 220 mm of rainfall per year, and sometime no rainfall at all. Sonmiani is the only place along the coast of Pakistan where three species of mangroves viz-a-viz Avicennia marina, Ceriops tagal and Rhizophora mucronata exist naturally. The mangrove forests are used for fuel wood, fodder for cattle and browsing areas for camels.Despite the area is subjected to grazing and fuel wood collection, different techniques were developed to restore the mangrove ecosystem through community participation with the assistance of WWF-Pakistan and local NGOs. Local community, whose main profession is fishing, has planted a considerable degraded area with mangroves, thus playing their role in protection and conservation of mangroves for future young Pakistani generations he coastline of Pakistan is 1050 km long and 40-50 km wide shared by the provinces of Sindh (350 km) and Balochistan (700 km). In the Sindh province, mangroves are found in the Indus Delta which occupies approximately 600,000 ha extending from Korangi Creek in the north to Sir Creek in the South. Indus Delta comprises 17 major creeks, numerous minor creeks and extensive mudflats and constitutes 97% of total mangrove forests found in Pakistan. Mangroves of Indus delta are unique in being the largest arid climate mangroves in the world. The survival of these forests is largely associated with perennial freshwater supplies from the River Indus, which flows through the delta before reaching the Arabian Sea. An area of 344,845 ha of the Indus delta has been declared as protected forests and is under the control of" @default.
