Description

Mangroves in Focus: Climate Change, Pollution, and Natural Defense explores the ecological, ethical, and scientific significance of mangrove ecosystems in the context of the climate crisis and environmental pollution. It is designed for reference and study, and serves both the scientific community and a broader audience interested in environmental justice and education.

The book presents a comprehensive scientific foundation of mangrove functions, including their roles in carbon sequestration, coastal protection, and biodiversity support. It integrates environmental ethics with applied ecological science, highlighting mangroves as natural defenders against climate threats and as crucial agents in pollution mitigation, particularly through phytoremediation. One of the book’s key contributions is its review of emerging research on the use of combined nanomaterials in phytoremediation processes, focusing on how mangrove species can extract toxic, carcinogenic contaminants from polluted environments. This section is especially relevant for researchers in environmental sciences, toxicology, and sustainable technologies.

In addition to its theoretical components, the book features a practical section with educational activities, lesson plans, and community workshop models.
