Implementing eco-DRRImplementing eco-DRR
Maintain natural ecosystems, such as coastal mangroves, floodplains and forests
Maintain traditional cultural ecosystems such as agroforestry systems, terraced crop growing, and fruit-tree forests in arid lands
Restore such systems where they have been degraded or lost
Promote policies and regulatory frameworks for ecosystem management for the purpose of DRR, climate change adaptation, livelihood benefits and other ecosystems services
+ Appropriate understanding of the ecological context and the hazard!
