The Challenge
Decades of shrimp farming, illegal logging, and rising sea levels have degraded Vietnam’s largest Sonneratia caseolaris mangrove forest.

In the Mekong Delta, the balance between people and nature is at risk. Women4Mangrove restores that connection — empowering local women to turn conservation into opportunity and build resilience for generations to come.
