    • Abstract:
      There are positive effects on climate, water availability, and temperature that may be attributed to the presence of mangrove forests. In addition, mangroves provide natural infrastructure and protection to human communities that are located nearby by preventing erosion and absorbing the effects of storm surges caused by large weather events such as hurricanes. Regrettably, the disappearance of mangroves harms the ecology and the environment's viability. Using secondary sources and a descriptive approach to study, this article investigates the impact that the destruction of mangrove forests in India has had on the surrounding ecosystem. The research findings indicate that India's most significant contributors to environmental destruction are development activities and other reasons. Deforestation may lead to many negative outcomes, including changes in climate, a reduction in biodiversity, the destruction of habitat, and armed conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
