Music for the Forest: Inspiring Environmental Action Through Melodies

Hanoi, November 5, 2024 – Believing that music can become a bridge to promote environmental actions, Cuon Hood Entertainment launched the music video (MV) "Uom Mam Xanh" (Nurturing Green Shoots) and the project of the same name to spread love for nature, responsibility towards the environment, and community engagement among young people.

Enhancing legislation and ensuring law enforcement for zoonotic disease in Vietnam

In Vietnam, management of wildlife diseases has garnered attention from both the State and the public.

Tien Hai reserve saved from development in win for nature in Vietnam

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed a decision this month to fully retain Tien Hai Nature Reserve, in a rare example of environmental protection winning over development in the Southeast Asian country. Located in the northern coastal province of Thai Binh, the reserve gained attention in 2023 after the provincial government announced a plan to remove protection from almost 90% of the area. This would have reduced the reserve area from 12,500 to 1,230 hectares (nearly 31,000 to just over 3,000 acres) to open up space for a proposed residential, resort and golf course complex called the Con Vanh Ecological Urban Area.
