 Since I represent Vietnam, I will only list events in my country that should be given more attention in 2017. I, 'Action for a green Ha Long' programme:  In continuation to the success of the first programme, IUCN in partnership with Bhaya Group and Coca-Cola Viet Nam are going to organize the Second 'Action for A Green Ha Long' Campaign on January 10th, 2017. This programme is a part of the Ha Long – Cat Ba Alliance Initiative, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The project is to provide the participants with knowledge of biodiversity and wild animals, such as turtles, amphibians, reptiles and primates, as well as to share and share alike about the work of biodiversity conservation and environment protection. In the process of learning about the changes in vegetation cover towards altitude, our participants had conquered the top of a mountain, which is our farthest destination so far.

Since this kind of animal requires the specific treatment individually, there is a call for a number of volunteers. Further Information (in Vietnamese): https://goo.gl/HYisnb IV, Carbon & Biodiversity Project (Carbi):  WWF and partners have embarked on the largest and most ambitious project in the history of our involvement in the Greater Mekong region. Aimed at halting deforestation, through forest protection and sustainable use of forest resources, and preserving the unique species diversity, the new project covers an area of more than 200,000 ha of forest, along a vital mountain range that links Laos and Vietnam in Southeast Asia.

I greatly apologize for the late reports. I have been experiencing a hard time in real life (too many exams, job loss, weddings and hospital visits,..), and I know it is just an excuse. I could have managed it better. I will definitely put more efforts in balancing between work and private life in the future! For the last word, I wish everyone a happy new year! Hope that you guys will be blessed with joy, luck and healthy this year! Love you all Tunza members. <3 |
