The mangroves of the Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar provide a range of resources that support densely populated communities. However, they have been degraded through overexploitation and land conversion.
This report showcases the results of piloting the 3Returns Framework in the coastal ecosystem restoration of mangrove forests in the Ayeyarwady Delta, demonstrating monetary and non-monetary benefits of restoration by estimating return of investment in environment, social and human and financial capital.
Results indicate that improved management of mangroves and green growth alternatives can enhance the well-being of the communities and that even limited investment in mangrove restoration provides high levels of benefits in the long term.
