On July 30, 2022, Forto Vietnam joined SeedforSea initiative and launched its reforestation project of Rhizophora Apiculata . MangLub VN, as authorized by Forto VN, will implement this project at Ban islet, My Long Bac commune from August 2022 to November 2022 by mixing the Rhizophora Apiculata to the current area of Sonneratia Caseolaris.
This mixing model, as recommended by the local government, will increase the diversity, decrease the diseases, strengthen the capacity of fighting against storms, and land erosion. On this event date, about 30 team members of Forto VN planted 200 Rhizophora Apiculata mangrove trees together with local people & students at the current area of Sonneratia Caseolaris. Also, the educational activity was also combined to raise the awareness on the mangrove trees. Forto VN presented six trash bins to local government and 20 comic books of Rhizophora Apiculata to the Nguyen Van Cong secondary school’s library.
After this event, Forto VN will also launch an online course of mangrove importance, which is targeted on the 2nd week of August 2022.
