🌿 Phase II Launch of the Community-Based Mangrove Restoration Project in Vietnam 🌿On April 15th, GEC joined the Aramco Asia Singapore, the Center for Environmental Science and Ecology (CESE), the Ben Tre Provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment (DAE), the Ben Tre Provincial Department of Forest Protection, and key local partners to launch Phase II of the Community-Based Mangrove Restoration Project at Ba Lai Estuary, Binh Dai District, Ben Tre Province, Vietnam.The event provided an opportunity to reflect on our progress and recognise local efforts.From 2023 to 2025, the project has contributed to restore 10 hectares of degraded land by planting 24,000 mangrove trees and cultivating over 30,000 seedlings from two species in a thriving nursery located in Giao Thanh commune. 🌱Last year’s peer-learning trip to Malaysia, hosted by GEC and supported by Aramco, offered valuable insights into community-based mangrove management.We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years to come!More info of the launch: bit.ly/phase-II-launch-mangrove-restoration-vietnam#MangroveRestoration #Vietnam #globalenvironmentcentre
