Collaborative actions on illegal wildlife trade with Vietnamese journalists.

Illegal wildlife trade is a major conservation problem in Vietnam.  As a mitigating strategy, PanNature organized 19 field media investigation trips across 23 provinces in the country, as well as one trip across the Vietnam-Laos border, accompanied by more than 60 journalists.  Journalists were able to observe tragedies with wildlife species firsthand. This effort generated more than 110 newspaper articles and stories, raising awareness of the issue among the public.

Field trips for our partners to PanNature’s field operation in Van Ho

In October 2023, PanNature organized a field trip for our partners of the Green Livelihood Alliance program (GLA2), including the Southern Institute of Ecology and the Tropical Forestry Research Center (Trobenpos), to Van Ho district, Son La province to visit the agricultural and forestry production model adapting to climate change. The tour was sweaty, but it yielded many pleasant fruits from PanNature's operations that had been cultivated in Van Ho for many years.

Every Dong Matters: It’s time the Vietnamese public joined hands for the conservation of nature.

With the widespread of the Internet, mobile applications, and online banking, online donation is now quite convenient for many Vietnamese. Several local companies have pioneered in developing platforms for online donation for domestic customers. PanNature has received great support from major local platforms to pilot online crow fundraising, including Momo, GiveNow, and ThienNguyen (a service of the Military Bank). 

Grassroots Development and Sustainable Development: A View from Voice of Farmers Project

Along with national programs on sustainable development and climate change response, small-scale projects with a bottom-up approach also play an essential role in implementing sustainable development goals. The paper analyzes the concepts of grassroots development and sustainable development based on a bottom-up climate change mitigation and adaptation project implemented in two Northwest provinces of Vietnam.

Training on biodiversity conservation for the Kon Pne community

PanNature organized two training sessions in 2023: preserving the survival of wild animals and plants in Kon Pne in September and assessing the community's biodiversity status in November. Participants include the Community Development Boards of three villages, household representatives, and the Kon Pne Commune Forest Protection Group. The training method incorporates general knowledge of biodiversity, field observation and practice, and particular activities like forest patrols, biodiversity monitoring, and so on. PanNature plans to continue more capacity-building activities on biodiversity monitoring, sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing, and developing and maintaining community-managed conservation areas in 2024.

Field Survey in Van Ho to Identify Potential Areas to Prepare a Forest Restoration Plan for 2024

Farming and local livelihood development are encroaching on the Van Ho forest's rich biodiversity, which threatens the survival of a small population of the Northern White-cheeked Gibbon sharing the same home. PanNature has worked with local communities and authorities to boost conservation efforts to rebuild fragmented forest regions. Following the successful forest restoration campaign in May 2023, which drew approximately 200 participants, PanNature will continue annual events to mobilize local actions for regreening forests.

Reforestation Activities in Van Ho with Support from the Business Sector

The success of the forest restoration campaign in May 2023 would not be possible without valuable support from the engagement and support of local companies. Momo, a leading electronic payment platform, helped PanNature to carry out crowd fundraising with a total of nearly 80 million Dong (about 3,285 US dollars). We also received donations, both in-kind and cash, from two big companies TH True Milks and Tupperware, in addition to in-kind donations from the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations.
