Sustainably managed mangroves can provide ecosystem services such as coastal protection, food and medicines as well as carbon storage, positively impacting both biodiversity and human well-being. The IUCN Global Standard for NbS provides a tool to help ensure that projects labelled as Nature-based Solutions - for example through restoration of mangroves - do indeed deliver the anticipated benefits to both society and biodiversity.

The ring-tailed lemur (
lemur catta
) is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. This lemur is found in the dry forests, spiny bush, montane forest, mangroves, rocky outcrops, and one rainforest in southern and south-western Madagascar, and in one humid forest in south-eastern Madagascar. Despite the species' large range and flexibility, its population density is often very low and populations are largely restricted to isolated forest fragmentsExperts suspect that its population has declined by at least 50% over a three-generation period.
