Ecosystems play a vital role in reducing disaster risks by acting as natural buffers against extreme events. Mangroves and coral reefs protect coastal areas from cyclones, storm surges, and erosion by absorbing wave energy. Forests stabilize slopes, preventing landslides and soil erosion during heavy rainfall. Wetlands and floodplains regulate water flow, reducing flood intensity and recharging groundwater. Healthy ecosystems enhance resilience by supporting biodiversity and livelihoods. Therefore, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction is a cost-effective and sustainable approach to minimizing disaster impacts.
