As human
beings, we all share this deep ecological wound in this part of the
Earth. It is our responsibility to do what necessary to shorten the
lasting affects of chemicals and to eliminate landmines, unexploded bombs
and other ordinance hazards. It is also our responsibility to restore a dense and rich forest
ecosystem to the region, alleviate poverty, improve the health and living conditions
of affected local and indigenous peoples, and most importantly to bring
to the region a state of cultural,
social, economic and ecological sustainability.
Tropical Conservancy has undertaken this challenge and
will coordinate the restoration efforts with the
participation of (1) indigenous peoples in affected communities to
ensure the restoration process is consistent with their culture and
tradition; and (2) professionals in scientific and technical communities
in Vietnam and in technologically capable countries around the world to
ensure the restoration activities are professionally and properly carried out and successfully completed.
