This year’s Big Match Fortnight was a huge success. So far we have raised £523,000, more than 90 per cent of our target. Thank you to everyone who supported the appeal so generously, including supporters of the Match Fund who ensured that all donations were matched pound for pound during the two weeks.
Funds raised are already enabling our partner, Viet Nature, to begin clearing the land of the invasive African grass that spread across the hillsides, following the denuding of Vietnam’s tropical forests.
Phase One of the project will see 120,000 trees being planted across 74 acres in Huong Lap and 172 acres in Huong Linh as a first step towards Viet Nature’s aim of restoring 3,500 acres of land in Bac Huong Hoa Nature Reserve.
Scientists believe that deforestation is responsible for 20 per cent of Earth’s greenhouse gases but reforestation can turn that around by stabilising rising temperatures and helping combat climate change.
We urgently need to raise £52,000 to reach our target. There’s still time to help Vietnam’s forest creatures find a new home. Read more
