Vietnam involves citizens in saving mangroves

Vietnam has been promoting a campaign of coexistence of shrimp cultivation and mangrove forests for saving the tropical shrubs in Ca Mau Province, southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, by involving local citizens. The photo shows officials of the Forestry Development Section of Ca Mau's Agriculture and Rural Development Department patrolling a shrimp pond. Citizens are required to plant mangroves on 60 percent of forest land allocated to them free of charge, while they are allowed to cultivate shrimps on the rest.
