Germany Helps Vietnam Combat Climate Change

Vietnam’s forests are increasingly threatened as a result of deforestation, forest degradation, fragmentation and other stresses – making them more vulnerable to changing environmental conditions. To cope with the challenges posed by climate change the Frankfurt Zoological Society has agreed to cooperate with the General Department of Forestry on matters pertaining to biodiversity management. Pursuant to an agreement signed July 21, the project will be given effect through 2019 and is expected to enhance the nation’s capacity to respond to climate change in the Central and Highland regional areas of the country.
