“Regreening Forest 2026” event in Na Bai hamlet, Van Ho commune. 

The “Regreening Forest” initiative was launched by PanNature in 2022 with the goal of restoring 500 hectares of natural forest connecting the Mai Chau area (Phu Tho) and Van Ho area (Son La) over a 10-year period from 2022 to 2032.

This forest corridor is considered an important “green lung” of the northwestern region and is home to the rare white-cheeked gibbon as well as many endemic plant and animal species. From 2022 to 2025, with contributions from businesses, organisations, and local communities, PanNature planted more than 180,000 trees, restoring over 300 hectares of forest land.

Delegates perform the launch ceremony of the “Regreening Forest 2026” event. 

A leader of the Van Ho commune General Services Centre expresses appreciation to organisations and businesses supporting tree seedlings for reforestation. 

The 2026  event attracted more than 200 participants, including staff of the General Services Centre, forest rangers, representatives of organisations and businesses, and local residents.

During the event, participants planted 10 hectares of forest with more than 6,000 native trees, including Bat Do bamboo, black canarium, Chukrasia tabularis, Burretiodendron hsienmu, and Michelia tonkinensis. Funding for the activity was supported by participating organisations and businesses.

A large number of organisations and local residents participate in tree planting activities.
