Deforestation continues to rage in Việt Nam
Việt Nam will mark four years of natural forest closure this July, a measure to reverse severe deforestation.
A total 58 localities closed their natural forests from July 2016, following Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc’s order which aimed to halt wood exploitation by State agencies, including those certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and offer assistance mechanisms to switch to alternative materials.
