Provinces called on to join activities responding to World Environment Day
According to a recent document, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment called on other ministries, state agencies, authorities of cities and provinces nationwide to participate in activities of the Action Month for the Environment in response to World Environment Day, June 5.
This year's World Environment Day in Vietnam, themed “Nature’s call and our actions”, will be held by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment with an array of activities.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, in the celebration of World Environment Day, ceremonies and parades will take place across the country.
In addition, banners and posters that promote biodiversity protection and the fight against illegal trade in wildlife will be placed at public places and main streets to improve public awareness on the environmental issues.
Media agencies at national and local levels were asked to increase coverage of news and documentaries regarding environment protection and illegal wildlife trade prevention in May and June.
Besides, there will be other activities, including freeing wild animals, planting trees, recycling, environmental cleaning, collecting litter, and dredging canals and lakes.
The highlight is a national meeting to celebrate World Environment Day on June 5 which is scheduled to be held in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai.
The event is expected to help raise public awareness on the need to manage and appropriately use natural resources in connection with environmental protection and sustainable development.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, World Environment Day aims to inspire people worldwide to take action to prevent the strain on planet Earth’s natural systems from reaching breaking point.
This year’s theme is the fight against illegal wildlife trade, which erodes the precious biodiversity and threatens the survival of awe-inspiring species, such as elephants, rhinos and tigers, as well as other creatures that are less celebrated.
Vietnam started observing the day in 1982 and has organised many activities to contribute to raising public awareness on environment protection and sustainable development.
