Đất Rừng Phương Nam by Đoàn Giỏi5/21/2023 Such proximity to the grassroots and their problems has created a deep connection between me and the environmental issues of the Mekong Delta and motivated me to delve into the environment and development sphere. The farmers told me their first recognition of salinity intrusion was in the taste of their regular cup of coffee, then followed the dry death of paddy fields and fruit orchards.Īt that point, I started to get a better sense of the impact of environmental change and its connection to agriculture-based livelihood which is extremely susceptible to the climate. The Winter-Spring of 2015-2016 was a tough time for people in my project areas when they unexpectedly encountered the highest level of salinity intrusion that has ever occurred. As such, not so long after graduation, I worked at a non-governmental organization in a project which focused on sustainable economic development, agriculture and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) in Vinh Long Province. I did not have much concern on environmental issues when I first took my bachelor’s degrees on business management and law but participating in a variety of volunteer work at university had been gradually building up my notion and interest in the concept of sustainable development.
