Project Overview
The Red River Delta region in Viet Nam is located approximately 110 km southeast of the capital, Hanoi. In particular, the forests in the Thai Binh area within the Red River Delta are primarily composed of mangrove species. These forests have served as habitats for a variety of flora and fauna and have played a critical role in protecting local communities from coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion. However, since the 1950s, about 80% of the mangrove forests have been destroyed over the past 50 years, weakening their ecological functions.
This project aims to establish new mangrove forests and enhance and conserve existing ones in the Red River Delta region. Through these efforts, the project contributes to protecting local communities from coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion, while also supporting climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
The mangrove species to be planted include:

Project Impact
When the mangrove forests established through the project grow healthily, they not only enhance biodiversity but also stabilize the coastline and protect coastal villages from natural disasters. In fact, in 2024, Thai Binh in the Red River Delta was directly affected by Typhoon Yagi, which was recorded as the worst typhoon in 30 years. However, the mangrove forests that had been established helped mitigate the impact of the typhoon and safeguarded local communities.
