PanNature Deputy Director Resignation

After 13 years of dedication to PanNature, Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung has resigned from the position of Deputy Director.

As one of PanNature’s very founding members, Mr.Nguyen Viet Dung plays a crucial role in the organization’s development.

Directly overseeing the Research & Policy Department, Mr.Dung has established and implemented a wide range of policy programs through research, analysis, and dialogues,  as well as his involvement in PanNature’s resource governance initiatives.

PanNature started to focus more on policy impacts quite early, two years after its  establishment in 2006. Dung and the policy team have made tremendous efforts in positioning PanNature as one of the positive contributors to many biodiversity conservation and environmental protection policies in Vietnam.

In recent years, Dung devoted largely to research, analysis and dialogue activities around forestry policy development along with the process of Forestry Law reform. Together with civil society partners and government agencies, PanNature has brought important issues on the ground and voices of forest-dependent communities to policy discussions. A number of key recommendations has been recognized by policy making institutions.

While resigning from the Deputy Director position, Nguyen Viet Dung continues to provide technical support for the policy team until the end of April 2019.

PanNature team respectfully acknowledges and appreciates Mr.Dung’s dedication to the development of the organization as well as his contribution to the cause of protecting Vietnam’s environment and conserving natural heritage.

In the mean time, if you need to discuss issues related to Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung’s previously managed areas in natural resources and environmental policies, please contact Mr. Trinh Le Nguyen, PanNature’s Executive Director.
