Overview

The project site are Quang Tri and Quang Binh provinces, the forest of these provinces belong to the Truong Son Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) / Important Bird Area (IBA) in the Annamese Lowlands Endemic Bird Area in north-central Vietnam. It consists of least disturbed moist lowlands evergreen forest with over 40 globally threatened animal species, including Saola, Giant Muntjac, and Bourret's Box Turtle, Sunda Pangolin and Edwards's Pheasant. However, these rich ecosystems were severely damaged by the Vietnam War, and some of these damaged places have not been recovered yet. Also, local communities, many of which belong to the Van Kieu ethnic minority group are the poorest in the country, and their life and livelihood is heavily dependent on forest. However, recent economic development has caused more of illegal hunting, logging and over exploitation of forest resources for livelihood, and remaining ecosystems are under pressures. We focus on environmental education, awareness raising and capacity building for youth to contribute to changing people’s attitude, perceptions and behaviours.
