However with an escalating economy, Vietnam faces extreme pressure on its biodiversity, thus conservation support is essential.<\/p>\n<p>Located in the Annamite Mountain Range of north central Vietnam lies a unique ecosystem and one of the last of its kind. Khe Nuoc Trong forest straddles a mixture of mountainous and flat terrain, and boasts many species found nowhere else on Earth. As well as three species of endangered primates, the critically endangered Sunda pangolin and oriental small-clawed otter also call these trees their home. It would be devastating to lose Vietnam\u2019s rare wildlife forever.<\/p>\n<p>As a Watershed Protection Forest, Khe Nuoc Trong is also a key source of clean water for local communities, additionally feeding rice paddies downstream. Through extraction of non-timber products, the local population depend upon this forest for their income, further demonstrating how significant this area is.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-block \">\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n<section id=\"block-image-grid\" class=\"normal-page\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"left-column col s12 m6\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pelorusfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/vietnam-khe-nuong-troc-forest-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"khe nuong troc forest vietnam\" class=\"wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pelorusfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/khe-nuoc-trong-forest-vietnam-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"river in khe nuoc trong forest vietnam\" class=\"wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"right-column col s12 m6\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pelorusfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/asian-small-clawed-otter-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"asian small clawed otter vietnam\" class=\"wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pelorusfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/red-shanked-douc-vietnam-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"vietnam red shanked douc\" class=\"wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"right-caption wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-block wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\r\n\r\n<section id=\"block-featured-text\" class=\"agency-page\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col s12 m10 offset-m1 l6 offset-l3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h2>MAKE AN ENQUIRY<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you\u2019re interested in finding out more about investing in carbon removal projects, please email <a href=\"mailto:support@pelorusfoundation.org\">support@pelorusfoundation.org<\/a> and we\u2019ll be happy to discuss.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-block wow animate__fadeIn\" data-wow-offset=\"200\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\">\n\n<section id=\"block-text\" class=\"normal-page\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col s12 m8 offset-m2 l6 offset-l3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Threats to the Forest<\/h2>\n<p>Despite being one of the best examples of its kind, Khe Nuoc Trong forest is amongst Vietnam\u2019s most threatened. As well as suffering from the war, this forest has been fragmented, degraded and cleared for agriculture or plantations. In addition, illegal timber extraction and poaching for the wildlife and restaurant trade takes place and will only continue without strong, adequate enforcement.<\/p>\n<h2>The Project<\/h2>\n<p>In 2021 Pelorus Foundation supported World Land Trust\u2019s partnership with Viet Nature Conservation Centre as they transform Khe Nuoc Trong to a Nature Reserve, thus increasing its levels of protection. This innovative project aims to reduce illegal wildlife hunting and restore degraded areas to ultimately relieve the forest of its pressures, enabling it to return to previous high-quality standards. To ensure the area is well protected, World Land Trust is funding an expert team of rangers to patrol the area, and will educate and support local communities and the government. Over the next 30 years, estimates dictate that the protection of Khe Nuoc Trong will sequester 50,000 tonnes of CO2 every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through conducting a carbon balance audit, Pelorus Foundation has been able to determine the precise cost of offsetting and in turn, has been able to fund projects such as the crucial protection of Khe Nuoc Trong forest.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2021 our work in re-balancing carbon emissions has moved on, and in 2022 we launched our own Climate Investment Fund, investing in high impact community based and technological carbon removal projects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through conducting a carbon balance audit, the Pelorus Foundation can determine the precise cost of offsetting and provide necessary funding for projects such as the crucial protection of Khe Nuoc Trong forest in Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.7.1 -
