Mangrove forests are globally significant blue carbon sinks that remain critically under-governed and under threat. In Indonesia, the rapid rate of mangrove loss over the past three decades, combined with the promise of these carbon-dense ecosystems to mitigate climate change impacts, has catalyzed the world's largest replanting program. Institutional and ideological divisions between advocates of conservation and commodification approaches to mangrove governance, however, have historically compromised Indonesia's ability to meet its climate commitments. Market valuations of mangroves as blue carbon have further complicated their governance by opening up new opportunities for environmental collaboration and resource exploitation. Drawing on the concept of leverage points, this study examines how plural valuations of mangroves might be applied to sustainability interventions in Riau Province, Indonesia. Using document analysis and interviews with public, private and societal stakeholders, we examine how sector-level values translate into collaborative actions through mangrove partnerships. We posit that integrating indigenous knowledge and place-based values into mangrove policy development could help to address the existing conservation-commodification divide. As plural values are mutually transformative, we argue that recognizing areas of strategic compatibility creates space for flexible and adaptive cross-sector cooperation. Such recognition is especially important for mangrove communities, whose marginal socioeconomic position reinforces their need to remain ideologically and tactfully open to areas of compatibility with shifting market valuations, both to sustainably develop locally important resources and to avoid livelihood capture by predatory development interests.

红树林是全球重要的蓝碳汇，但仍面临严重的治理不足和威胁。在印度尼西亚，过去三十年红树林快速流失，加上这些碳密集型生态系统有望减轻气候变化影响，催生了全球最大的红树林 replanting 计划。然而，在红树林治理的保护和商品化方法倡导者之间，机构和意识形态分歧历来削弱了印度尼西亚履行其气候承诺的能力。红树林作为蓝碳的市场估值通过开辟环境合作和资源开发的新机会，进一步使治理复杂化。本研究借鉴杠杆点的概念，探讨红树林的多元估值如何应用于印度尼西亚廖内省的可持续发展干预措施。通过文件分析以及对公共、私营和社会利益相关者的访谈，我们研究部门层面的价值观如何通过红树林伙伴关系转化为合作行动。我们认为，将本土知识和基于地方的价值观纳入红树林政策制定，有助于弥合现有的保护与商品化分歧。由于多元价值观相互转化，我们认为认识到战略兼容性领域为灵活和适应性的跨部门合作创造了空间。这种认识对红树林社区尤为重要，其边缘的社会经济地位强化了他们在意识形态和策略上对与不断变化的市场估值的兼容性领域保持开放的必要性，以便可持续地开发当地重要资源并避免被掠夺性发展利益剥夺生计。
