Although biodiversity brings direct benefits to humans, contributes to the national sustainable development strategy, and protects the environment, Viet Nam is experiencing rapid biodiversity loss due to population growth, over exploitation of natural resources, illegal logging, and the expansion and intensification of agriculture; Illegal wildlife trade and infrastructure development.
