And the objectives of this paper are to safeguard the preservation of mangroves for their environmental advantages, as well as to ensure a sustainable supply of various forests and other products to meet the daily needs of local residents, it is imperative to implement appropriate management strategies for mangrove ecosystems. Mangroves play a crucial role in safeguarding the food security of numerous coastal communities. The management and restoration of mangrove ecosystems present a viable and economically efficient approach to ensuring food security for these communities. The major challenges of mangrove conservation are excessive exploitation of fuelwood and charcoal production, the conversion of mangroves into other land uses such as rice fields, shrimp farming, and salt pans, the development of coastal areas and deltas for human settlement as well as the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. National legal frameworks that address wildlife conservation have been implemented in these countries. States' financial, sociocultural, economic, and environmental spheres play significant roles in the long-term sustainability of wildlife conservation. This paper focuses on the Ayeyarwady Delta as a model system, employing an integrated approach to conserve mangrove ecosystem. It is hoped that by carrying out a study of the environmentally related laws of the country, a better understanding will be achieved of the challenges faced by the country in their efforts to conserve the mangrove and will support the sustainable development of mangrove conservation in Myanmar.
