Ho Chi Minh City:Efforts to sustainably develop the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO 26 years ago, have been successful. The reserve has been fully restored and is recognized by experts and scientists as a rapidly recovering mangrove forest, mainly due to human efforts.

According to Vietnam News Agency, significant positive results have been observed in the reserve's ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, and improvement of community livelihoods.

The city is proposing that UNESCO provide support to enhance management capacity, develop blue carbon projects, strengthen climate change adaptation, and connect international resources. These efforts aim for the sustainable development of the biosphere reserve.
