Cơ hội, hách thức, và nhu cầu hỗ trợ phát triển, cải thiện và thực hiện các đề án du lịch sinh thái tại các khu bảo tồn, rừng phòng hộ và các khu bảo vệ cảnh quan vùng Đồng bằng Sông Cửu Long

Vietnam’s Mekong Delta is one of the most densely populated parts of the country. Formerly covered by vast areas of wetlands, the Delta’s environment is today heavily altered. However, our work shows that there are still areas of mangrove and coastal mudflats and mangroves where large congregations of migratory birds can be found. In fact, good numbers of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper (CR), Nordmann’s Greenshank (EN) and Great Knot (EN) visit to the wetlands of the Delta, together with tens of thousands of other waterbirds such as shorebirds, terns and pelicans. Join us on this webinar to learn about where the most important sites for migratory waterbirds are on the Mekong Delta, and what needs to be done to protect them, and the livelihoods of local people.

Under Phase II of the Project, we are seeking a project manager with a strong background in nature conservation and has experience with working with diverse stakeholders to implement conservation activities, in partnership with local people, scientists and Government agencies in the Mekong Delta. Over time, the project aims to strengthen engagement with local communities, improve awareness of migratory birds and wetlands, and secure some of Viet Nam’s most important areas of coastal wetlands.
