It is necessary to bring back the original dune forests. In the next few years Trees for All is going to plant 120,000 indigenous trees and shrubs in order to restore and protect the coastal zone. A number of these are mentioned in the IUCN Red List of vulnerable and endangered species of trees. In this project we work closely together with the authorities and villages and it serves as an example of ‘nature based solutions’ to a life-size climate problem. The entire area will profit by this!
The planting will take place in Phu Yen province.
In this project we co-operate closely with our project partner UNIQUE Forestry and Landuse GmbH and Institute of Resources and Environment of the Hue University (IREN). They have ample experience in the area and maintain good connections with Vietnamese Forestry Authority and participating villages. The inhabitants are instructed by the Vietnamese project team and will commit themselves to the development of dune forests in the long run.
“We will restore a particular and endangered ecosystem and improve the living conditions of people in the area.”
