The lack of trees and shrubs is causing huge erosion, with pieces of soil washing away. Due to the combination of deforestation and climate change, the villages are also <strong>vulnerable to extreme weather<\/strong>, such as typhoons, sandstorms and floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why Trees for All focuses on restoring dune forests. Together with the local population and our partners Unique and HUSTA, we are planting <strong>200,000 trees<\/strong>. These include several endangered species that are native to the coastal region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, we have planted the first 160,000 trees, including the nearly extinct <em>Lithocarpus concentricus<\/em>. In the coming years, we aim to <strong>expand the new dune forest<\/strong> with another 40,000 trees. Your donation will help us to make this possible!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:45%\">\n<div

in Central Vietnam have disappeared due to logging. Together with our local partners in Vietnam, we are restoring these forests for 3 important reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"onze-partners\">1. Improved coastal protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dune forests are a crucial type of ecosystem. Their roots reduce the force of wind and water, and holding the soil and sand together. In this way, they naturally<strong> protect<\/strong> the coastal region from erosion and extreme weather, such as typhoons, floods or sandstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is extremely important in Central Vietnam. Due the combination of deforestation and climate change, living conditions here are increasingly challenging. Typhoons, for instance, occur more frequently than before. While temperatures can reach over 40\u00b0C in the dry season, the region experiences tropical showers and floods in the rainy season. Restoring dune forests helps to make the coastal region more <strong>resilient <\/strong>to such extreme conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Vietnam-Trees-for-All-7.jpg\" alt=\"vietnam-bomen-planten\" title=\"Vietnam Trees for All (7)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HNAT1644-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"zaailingen-vietnam\" title=\"HNAT1644\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"onze-partners\">2. Conserving endangered tree species<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The disappearance of dune forests means many tree species in Vietnam are<strong> threatened with extinction<\/strong>. The poor sandy soils also make it difficult for nature to recover on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, in recent years many exotic tree species like acacia and casuarina have been planted. These species aren\u2019t native to the dune area. They struggle to survive in sandy soils, and provide little value for local biodiversity as they attract few plants and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why we focus on restoring dune forests by planting <strong>native tree species <\/strong>that naturally belong in this coastal region. This approach strengthens biodiversity and prevents original tree and shrub species from going extinct. Take the <em>Lithocarpus concentricus<\/em>, for example. Once listed as &#8220;possibly extinct&#8221; on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucnredlist.org\/\">IUCN Red List<\/a>, this specie is now being replanted extensively in the region thanks to our project!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Lithocarpus-concentricus-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Lithocarpus-concentricus\" title=\"Lithocarpus concentricus\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.wptest.go2people.nl\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Vietnam_Melaleuca-cajuputi-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Melaleuca-cajuputi\" title=\"Vietnam_Melaleuca cajuputi\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">From left to right: <em>Lithocarpus concentricus<\/em> and <em>Melaleuca cajuputi<\/em>, characteristic tree spiecies of Vietnam&#8217;s dune forests.

This is why we plant native tree species with <strong>economic added value <\/strong>for the local population. A good example of this is the <em>Melaleuca cajuputi<\/em>, a tree that totally belongs in this region.

Well, a typical tree native to Vietnam&#8217;s dune forests. This specie was listed as &#8220;possibly extinct&#8221; on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. Nevertheless, a few specimens were still discovered to be growing in our project area. A project team now collects the seeds from these &#8220;mother trees&#8221; and cultivates them into seedlings at a local nursery. These seedlings are then planted in the project area to prevent the species from disappearing here forever.
