Project: For a Green Ha Long Bay

In partnership with Ha Long Bay Management Board, Indochina junk launched a project called "For a Green Ha Long Bay" in March 2008. This is a trial project managed by Indochina Junk and sponsored in coordination with Footprint Vietnam Travel and Tropical Sails.

The project takes place in Vung Vieng fishing village, where many families live in the environments of Ha Long Bay and have a share in the impacts within them.

The campaign is to encourage local people and nearby businesses to collect litter and protect the appearance and ecology of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, especially at the community level.

On the day the campaign was launched, 50 plastic rubbish bins were given to families living in this village. More importantly, our project focuses on education and communication in hopes that all the locals will soon realize the benefit of conservation.

We hope to keep this trial project for 2 years then expand it to other villages in Ha Long Bay. In addition to the environmental issue, Indochina Junk and Footprint Vietnam Travel are working hard in seeking support to help build schools and create job opportunities for the local people here.

We call for your support, please help leave a better Ha Long Bay for future.
