About ENV
Education for Nature-Vietnam (ENV) was established in 2000 as Vietnam’s first non-governmental organization focused on conservation of nature and the environment through education. Their mission is to foster greater understanding amongst the Vietnamese public about environmental issues of local, national and global significance, ranging from protection of wildlife and natural ecosystems to climate change. They employ creative and innovative strategies to influence attitudes and behavior, not only highlighting the need to protect Vietnam’s rich natural heritage and the living world around us, but also encouraging greater public participation in achieving this important and challenging task.

The soil dioxin concentration in sprayed areas has declined to background level; however, a few sites at the airbases where the pesticides were stored and/or handled are still highly contaminated. To date, three sites used as the military base, namely Bien Hoa Airbase, Da Nang Airbase and Phu Cat Airbase, have identified dioxin ‘hotspots’ which contamination level exceeds national dioxin limits.
