Mangrove Guardian: A Toolkit for Eco-DRR in Coastal Disaster Prevention
Keywords:
Eco-DRR Framework, Mangroves assessment tool, Ecological assessment, Social assessmentAbstract
The Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) Framework focuses on managing, restoring, and conserving the environment for the purpose of integration in the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) program. The leaders and managers around the world utilized the intrinsic services provided by the ecosystem as reinforcement to reduce the impact of disaster brought by natural hazards. However, in spite of their significance in superseding disastrous natural events and policies protecting them, anthropogenic activities continually exploit the resources of the environment for development. This turns out that the challenge of this approach in DRR program is the insufficiency of techniques to measure and describe the intervention done by a specific ecosystem to reduce the damage of natural hazards and for humans to realize its importance.
