They include breeding grounds for fish; provision of building poles, fuel wood and critical habitats for a variety of bird species. Most of the mangrove forests are threatened by unsustainable extraction pressure for fuel wood and building poles. Some of the mangrove forests are cut down to make way for salt farms.
