Beschreibung
Mangroves are critical ecosystems providing a
variety of goods and services that benefit people
and nature.They are however undervalued and
mostly ignored in planning processes which
accelerates decline in cover. This policy brief informs decision makers on the need to
incorporate material and intangible values to mangrove
and presents key findings of a study on socio-economic
role of mangroves and the governance framework in
Kenya. The key to making informed decisions requires
understanding the elements that would motivate change
in decisions and behavior,and how such can be included in
a conscious process of cultural norm evolution.
Presenting decision making institutions with evidence of
these values and their beneficial role in their specific
activities, alongside the development of feasible plans to
incorporate them into existing structures and practices,
will provide enabling conditions for mainstreaming and
subsequent informed actions regarding the management
and conservation of the increasingly threatened
mangrove ecosystems.
