Indonesia has lost 30% of the area over the past two decades due to anthropogenic activities. To overcome this problem, mangrove rehabilitation-which is generally interpreted as mangrove planting program - become the most popular option. These efforts could enhance the quantitative function (increasing mangrove areas extent and number of trees planted), yet the quality functions (biodiversity and ecological function) remain unclear. This analysis was carried out simultaneously with medium to high-resolution satellite image analysis to differentiate mangrove canopy pattern of these sites. The results showed that beta diversity value of mangroves in rehabilitation sites was lower than mangroves in natural area, which was characterized in satellite imagery as more uniform canopy and finer texture. Rehabilitation efforts that are mostly done through monoculture, are unable to produce an equal mangrove ecosystem function as natural mangroves do. This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts whether they can develop an equal ecological function as good as natural mangrove ecosystem, by comparing the difference of beta diversity in two study sites which representing the natural (north Sulawesi) and rehabilitated mangrove (West Bali).
