Carbon stock in Pulau Pintu Gedong mangrove forest, Malaysia / Mysha Farzana Peuny

Mangrove forests are regarded as the most significant carbon (C) sink in the tropics. They could play an important role in tackling climate change mitigation by reducing deforestation in the environmental, social, and economic sphere.
