Global mangrove distributions have fluctuated throughout human and geological history. The area covered by mangroves is influenced by a complex interaction between land position, rainfall hydrology, sea level, sedimentation, subsidence, and storms. In the last 50 years, human activities have strongly affected mangrove distributions, resulting in declines worldwide mangrove area. 经过人类和地质历史的改变，全球的红树林面积也一直都在变动中。红树林覆盖的面积是受土地之间的位置，降雨，海平面，地质沉降，塌陷和风暴之间复杂的相互作用所影响。在过去50多年来，人类的发展却已影响/导致到全世界红树林面积萎缩。
The main drivers of the recent mangroves destruction are linked to four main activities: urban sprawl, tourism, agriculture and aquaculture. And among all these factors aquaculture is considered as the greatest contributor to the worldwide mangrove loss.
导致这情况发生的主要四个因素：城市扩大，旅游业，农业和水产养殖业。其中，以水产养殖业所带来的冲击最大。

Each of us might not felt that this is something important...but profession called this an anthropogenic impact on the environment = human impact on the environment. We unwittingly stole plenty of the natural protection given to us.
我们每个人可能都不觉得，这跟自己有关系，但，专家给了这种现象一个名称叫anthropogenic=就是人为的环境影响。
Recently the rate of loss has been declining due to a greater awareness of mangrove values, with legislation and conservation projects becoming more commonplace.(one of the project in Malaysia is the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserved by Perak Forestry Department) It can only be hoped that this declining rate of loss continues, allowing future generations to appreciate the many benefits of mangroves.
最近，由于对红树林价值的认识已开始提升，通过立法和保护计划的普遍化，红树林范围萎缩的现象也已在减少。（在马来西亚由霹雳州林业部管制的Matang红树林保护区，就是其中之一），只能希望这种情况能继续下去，让未来的孩子们也能享受和珍惜红树林的许多好处。
