The mangrove nursery takes shape
"Strong Roots, Strong Women" started late due to COVID-19. Due to curfews in Vietnam joint workshops with the Women's Union and preparatory work on the play on risk communication could not begin. Both are to start after the end of the rainy season (end of November) and the construction of the mangrove nursery.
However, despite the difficult corona situation in Vietnam, progress has been made in the planning of the mangrove nursery. After consultation with local authorities and cooperation partners, a site in Thien Hue province was selected for the nursery according to biophysical criteria. The area is 4000m² and belongs to the Vinh Tri Agriculture Cooperation, which also has the necessary knowledge and provides the technical equipment.
