\nHanoi: The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on February 21 launched a tree planting campaign at the Tay Yen Tu spiritual and ecological tourism complex in Son Dong district, the northern province of Bac Giang.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, organisers planted 100 perennial and rare trees with high economic value.<\/p>\n
Addressing the launching ceremony, Minister Dang Quoc Khanh noted that since it was initiated by late President Ho Chi Minh in 1959, the tree planting campaign has become a fine tradition in Vietnam every spring.<\/p>\n
Responding to the beloved President’s appeal, the Party and the State have issued many specific programmes and plans on forest protection and development, and environmental protection, he added, referring to a project to plant one billion trees during the 2021-2025 period approved by the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
The campaign contributes to demonstrating Vietnam’s strong resolve to reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050 and respond to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (202
\n1-2030) – a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, for the benefit of people and nature, the minister continued.<\/p>\n
He called on agencies, localities, people and international organisations in Vietnam to join the campaign, for a green and safe Vietnam with rapid, sustainable development.<\/p>\n
Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province Le O Pich said the locality has so far planted 19 million scattered trees and 30,000 hectares of concentrated forests, with the forest coverage rate standing at 37.8%.<\/p>\n
Nearly 770 million trees have been planted nationwide under the above-said project.\/.<\/p>\n
