“I have a vision. A vision is that in 20 years, there will be fewer guards protecting Viet Nam’s natural heritage rather than the many guards that are required today. Every action we are taking today is to ensure that this vision will be realised. As we strive to accelerate our impact, our collective knowledge, experience, and lessons learned have enabled WWF-Viet Nam, with the support of our many partners, to transition from implementing individual projects to a more comprehensive landscape- scale model. This fundamental shift will enable us to address three important challenges: addressing biodiversity loss, supporting climate goals, and improving the lives of the Vietnamese people.

We are transforming our approach to working with communities. We are committed to building bridges of understanding and instilling a sense of pride in the places they call home. Only through a “whole-of-society” approach can we build on shared principles and values to ensure that nature and people prosper.”
