The 10th Regional Steering Committee of the Mangroves for the Future (MFF) initiative convened in Hoi An city, in the central province of Quang Nam, on September 11.
During the four-day event, representatives from the nine member countries are set to discuss efforts to protect mangrove forests for people and for nature in addition to future plans in finding sustainable solutions to environmental problems in the region’s coastal ecosystems.
The member countries of the group include Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Pakistan, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
The MFF provides a platform for member countries, sectors and agencies to collaborate in tackling the challenges to coastal ecosystem conservation and livelihood sustainability.
Vietnam joined the initiative in 2010 and has so far participated in 15 MFF projects, which contributes to protecting its rich resources in coastal regions and the lives of people residing in and around mangroves.
Since 2010, the MFF initiative has invested US$1 million in ecological recovery and livelihood improvement in Vietnam’s coastal areas.
