HCM City’s Can Gio reserve nominated as Ramsar site
The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has nominated Can Gio Biosphere Reserve on its outskirts as a Ramsar site, a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
It includes a mangrove area of nearly 35,000 hectares with an abundance of ecosystems and wildlife, and contributes to socio-economic growth, environmental protection, and stability in the lives of residents in the city and neighbouring localities. It was recognised as Vietnam’s first international biosphere reserve in early 2000.
