The district People’s Committee agrees and supports VARS to grow 100 hectares of forest in 2021, starting with 8.3 hectares of forest in Ke Village, together with Ma Lieng ethnic people, to restore the community forest.
The project “Afforestation and rehabilitation of the Gianh River forest watershed” is a project that has been cherished by the founders of VARS. VARS registered to operate from December 2020, in the form of a non-profit organization. It mobilizes social resources to grow and restore forests by indigenous tree species.
The main objective of the project is to mobilize community contributions to grow native tree species, preserve, and restore natural forests with a contribution of VND50,000 per tree.
Besides direct afforestation, the program also has the ambition to awaken environmental awareness among the public, encouraging people to not only contribute to the project but also plant and protect trees, plantation forests, as well as natural forests by themselves.
