This Decree establishes the National Programme for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Mangroves in Brazil (ProManguezal). ProManguezal aims to conserve, recover and sustainably use biodiversity and ecosystem services associated with the mangrove species, considering the various pressures on the ecosystem, including climate change. ProManguezal guidelines aim at: recognition of the ecological, geological, genetic, social, economic, educational and cultural functions of the mangrove ecosystem, and their role in mitigating and adapting to climate change; inter-federative coordination to strengthen mangrove management; integration with public policies; partnerships with public and private sector; ecosystem and landscape approach to managing mangroves and their species; traditional knowledge about the conservation and sustainable use of mangroves; improving the quality of life of people and traditional communities that directly depend on the mangrove ecosystem; incorporation of climate-related risk management in recovery planning actions and sustainable use of mangroves; develop methodologies and indicators for monitoring mangrove biodiversity components; increasing the resilience of the mangrove to protect extreme events and reduce vulnerabilities in the coastal zone accentuated by climate change; and increasing resilience of vulnerable populations and traditional communities that depend on mangroves.
