WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a diverse range of environment issues and implemented field activities across the country. Find out more at http://vietnam.panda.org/. WWF recognizes that its employees are its most important asset. A competent workforce, thoroughly trained, properly motivated, and bound together by mutual trust and common objectives is crucial to the success of WWF.
WWF is implementing a comprehensive program of conservation activities in the Mekong Basin with a strong focus on the Mekong Delta, one of the 2 priority landscapes of WWF Vietnam. WWF is also engaged in the Resilient Asian Deltas initiative that includes the Mekong Delta.
The continuous accumulation of sediments has contributed to the formation of the Mekong Delta and at the same time prevented its subsidence below sea level. The balance between steady sand accumulation and erosion is threatened by the effects of climate change, rising sea levels and the decrease in sediment loads from the Mekong basin. The aim of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of the Mekong Delta to climate change and its socio-economic consequences through the sustainable extraction of river sand and gravel. The project follows an approach that aims to raise public awareness of the impacts of unsustainable sand and gravel extraction. The urgent need for action by policy-makers is ensured by mobilising expertise and involving the media. Furthermore, the project prepares recommendations and develops planning instruments for the political partners and promotes dialogue between the mining and processing industries of river sand and gravel in order to counteract further unsustainable sand and gravel extraction. The project comprises four components: (1) A sediment budget (mainly sand and gravel fractions) for the Mekong Delta has been established in coordination with important actors. For this purpose, available data from the countries in the upper reaches as well as data collected by the project are used; (2) The effects of unsustainable sand and gravel extraction are known to the public and relevant decision-makers in the Mekong Delta; (3) Key actors in the construction sector have access to information on the risks and opportunities of different sourcing methods for sand and gravel; (4) Recommendations and guidelines for the consideration of the sustainable extraction of sand and gravel in the Mekong Delta in the political regulations are designed and promoted
