The study looked at why mangrove forests in Vadamaradchy-East, Sri Lanka are being cut down and the effects of this deforestation. Factors like wars, poverty, and natural disasters have led to deforestation. This has caused problems like loss of income, biodiversity, and fertile land. The government has tried to stop deforestation, but it hasn't worked well. The study suggests that laws and regulations should be put in place to control deforestation and protect the environment and economy.
