Question

Answer 1

Well, mainly, mangrove. There used to be at least eight distinct species of mangrove in the delta (one of the largest deltas in the world.) But recent natural disasters and deforestation has reduced the number of species to three or four. You can learn more by following the link below.

Answer 2

Pakistan's mangrove ecosystem is one of the largest found in an arid climate. Without realising their global significance, the local communities continue to use mangroves as fuelwood and fodder. In urban areas, mangroves are being cut away for developmental activities on the coast.

The objectives of the WWF - Pakistan project include rehabilitation of mangrove-degraded areas at Sonmiani and Jiwani in Balochistan, and Sandspit in Karachi, Sindh. WWF - Pakistan initiated a two-pronged approach in this area, i.e. mangrove plantation and community mobilisation, simultaneously. So far a total of 200 hectares have been rehabilitated in Sonmiani, Jiwani and Sandspit. Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal and Avicennia marina have been planted in Miani Hor (Sonmiani), while in other areas only Avicennia marina has been sown. Four mangrove nurseries, established at three sites, have been stocked with 40,000 saplings
