Mangrove Forests
« on: Oct 13th, 2002, 2:59pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Koh Tarutao still has mangrove forests but 80 percent of Thailand's mangrove forests are gone.   I hope that the money from this show helps the Thai government contribute some to the protection of the environment.
 
Here's an interesting article that talks about the incredibly important role of the Mangrove Forests, how 1 million acres have been destroyed and the role of shrimp farming in this destruction.  
 
According to a report by the United Nations Enviroment Programme, only a third of Thailand's mangroves remain and 80 per cent of their coral reefs are at risk, largely due to the effects of major shrimp farms in the region.
