Mangrove forest is an ecosystem that can be found along the coastlines of the tropics. Indonesia has the largest mangrove land cover in the world, so it is very important to manage it because it can provide ecological benefits to the environment as well as the welfare of coastal communities from economic and social aspects. This review aimed to explore practical and Islamic perspectives on managing mangrove forests sustainably. Sustainable management of mangrove forests, incorporating both practical strategies and Islamic principles, can enhance their role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. The sustainable management of mangrove forests in Indonesia requires a holistic approach that integrates practical measures with ethical and religious principles. By combining scientific knowledge, community engagement, and Islamic values, it is possible to create a framework for the sustainable use and preservation of these vital ecosystems. Practically, it highlights the importance of conservation, reforestation, integrated coastal zone management, and community involvement. Islam, as a religion, provides guiding principles and systems that enable problem solving, including the management of natural resources like mangrove forest. According to Islamic rules, forest is part of public ownership or property. This public property must be responsibly managed by the state or authority. The wealth and benefits must be shared for the welfare of the people. On the other hand, it is unlawful to damage and exploit forest resources without careful considerations of the impacts towards nature and humans. These strategies not only enhance mangrove protection for carbon storage but also bolster community resilience against climate impacts. This approach not only protects the environment but also enhances the well-being of the communities that depend on mangrove forests for their livelihoods.
