ChiLab, together with artists, creators, and young people from diverse fields, embarked on a one-day exploration of the Can Gio Mangrove Forest. The journey took the group from District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, to two key destinations in Can Gio: the Dan Xay Mangrove Biosphere Reserve and the Vam Sat Ecotourism Site.
The Can Gio mangrove forest is located about 50–60 km southeast of the center of Ho Chi Minh City. The Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve is Vietnam’s first biosphere reserve, recognized by UNESCO on January 21, 2000.
Here, we were guided and introduced by mangrove forest management staff and guides to the following:
– Ecological characteristics of the mangrove forest.
– Local livelihoods linked to the mangrove forest.
– Livelihoods and forest conservation plans of households tasked with forest protection.
– Sightseeing and games within the mangrove forest.
– Mangrove forest culinary experiences.
