The Bau Ca Cai mangrove forest in Thuan Phuc village, Van Tuong commune, about 40km northeast of Quang Ngai province’s centre, covers more than 100ha and serves as a vital “green lung” for the coastal area.

Between 2014 and 2016, the brackish lagoon was restored and expanded with millions of white lumnitzera trees under a project to enhance climate resilience for vulnerable coastal communities in Vietnam, implemented by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in coordination with the Vietnamese Government and Quang Ngai province.

Today, the site offers visitors guided boat tours through the white lumnitzera forest, opportunities to observe birds and aquatic life, and a chance to experience the area’s unspoilt natural environment./.
