Development and conservation of Philippine mangroves: institutional issues
(Elsevier, 2000)
The decline of Philippine mangroves from half a million hectares in 1918 to only 120 000 ha in 1994 may be traced to local exploitation for fuelwood and conversion to agriculture, salt beds, industry and settlements. But ...
