Xuan Thuy National Park, Nam Dinh is home to a diverse mangrove ecosystem. 1646 species of plants, phytoplankton, algae, seagrasses, benthic animals, fish, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals, including 19 fish species, 8 reptile species, and 16 bird species listed in the IUCN Red List 2020, rely on Xuan Thuy’s mangrove forest. However, deforestation and overexploitation of resources have greatly impacted the forest, affecting the mangrove ecosystem. The park is restoring the forest by planting trees, zoning recovery areas, and encouraging agroforestry.

Pham Ngo Hoang Lan Elizabeth and Nguyet Nguyet Linh have co-founded project Mangrove Xuan Thuy with a team of students from Vietnam and New Zealand, under the valuable guidance of a representative of the Parent-Led Climate Fellowship, with the goal of fundraising and planting trees for the park. All donations will be used for planting the trees. Our first goal is to plant 200 trees, which each cost 35,000 VND.

The project has two stages:

Stage 1: Sharing the message with family, friends, acquaintances 

Stage 2: Sharing the message to a wider student community (after schools re-open) by non-profit selling stickers, bookmarks, and tote bags with illustrations of animals from Xuan Thuy National Park.
