Life beneath U Minh Ha Forest canopy

The U Minh Ha (Lower U Minh) region in Ca Mau Province is embraced by Melaleuca cajuputi on all sides.

Despite the current reality that the flora and fauna beneath the Melaleuca cajuputi canopy may no longer be as rich as portrayed in Uncle Ba Phi's narratives or described by the famous writer Son Nam, it continues to offer a comfortable life to the local residents. Consequently, they are growing more attached, actively safeguarding and harnessing the resources beneath the Melaleuca cajuputi canopy in their daily lives.
