Toyota Motor Vietnam (TMV) in coordination with Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) has held a reviewing day on the operation of communications project on natural conservation in Vu Quang National Park, Ha Tinh province.

This project is within the Go Green- Natural Conservation aiming at raising the awareness of environment in national parks and natural conservation nationwide through education to raise public awareness and launched by TMV in coordination with the General Department of Environment and Ministry of Education and Training in 2008.

Since the first Go Green- Natural Conservation Programme was launched in 2008, TMV and ENV have successfully carried out seven intensive training courses for 76 officers coming from 37 national parks and national reserves nationwide.

Through these training courses, trainees are guided by ENV trainers about methods of environmental communications, environmental solutions and ways to build environment protection strategies which are suitable for local conditions in national parks and natural conservation and simultaneously practicing skills of environment communications to raise the awareness of local community of environmental protection.  

Besides, in order to help to expand the communications on natural conservation, TMV has helped ENV to issue five publications of Green Forest with the circulation of 15,000.

Akito Tachibana, general director of TMV shared: “Raising the Vietnamese awareness of the close relationship between human activities and natural environment and simultaneously helping them to get the idea that each citizen has to bear responsibility for the preservation of precious natural resources through reasonably exploiting and using them.”

“We assume that the effectiveness of this programme will stimulate other environment protection activities to be implemented in national parks and nature reserves nationwide”.
