International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem

July 26, 2020

Mangroves are rare, spectacular and prolific ecosystems on the boundary between land and sea. They ensure food security for local communities. They provide biomass, forest products and sustain fisheries. They contribute to the protection of coastlines. They help mitigate the effects of climate change and extreme weather events.
This is why the protection of mangrove ecosystems is essential today. Their survival faces serious challenges —from the alarming rise of the sea level and biodiversity that is increasingly endangered. The earth and humanity simply cannot afford to lose these vital ecosystems.
UNESCO’s message is clear: taking forward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development means forging new sustainable pathways to development in harmony with the earth. This means preserving all mangrove ecosystems.

Día Internacional de Conservación del Ecosistema de Manglares
Los manglares son ecosistemas poco frecuentes, espectaculares y prolíficos en la frontera entre la tierra y el mar. Garantizan la seguridad alimentaria de las comunidades locales. Proporcionan biomasa y productos forestales y sustentan la pesca. Contribuyen a la protección de los litorales y a la atenuación de los efectos del cambio climático y de los fenómenos climáticos extremos.
Por ello, la protección de los ecosistemas de manglares resulta esencial hoy en día. Existen graves desafíos para su supervivencia, desde la alarmante subida del nivel del mar hasta la situación de creciente peligro en que se encuentra la diversidad biológica. La Tierra y los seres humanos simplemente no pueden permitirse perder estos ecosistemas vitales.
El mensaje de la UNESCO es claro: para llevar adelante la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible hay que encontrar nuevas vías sostenibles hacia el desarrollo en armonía con la Tierra, y ello significa preservar todos los ecosistemas de manglares.
