  1. In each cell the top number refers to the percentage of global mangrove extents, while the middle and bottom numbers refer to the proportion for the subsets of the top 25% and 10% ranked mangrove conservation priority areas, which are optimized based on mangrove species biodiversity, coastal protection for properties and people, carbon sequestration, and fishery benefits.
