The Thai Thuy Wetland Nature Reserve covers 6,560ha of land, including 1,500ha
that is strictly protected, 4,800ha set aside for ecological recovery, and an
area for administrative services.
The reserve’s goal is to preserve biodiversity in the district’s coastal
wetlands, in particular globally-threatened migratory birds, help maintain the
biological balance in local wetlands, ensure environmental security, and
mitigate the impact of climate change.
It is also intended to encourage engagement among the local community in
managing and sensibly capitalising on wetland ecosystem services.
Addressing the ceremony announcing the decision on the establishment of the
reserve on June 24, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Vo Tuan
Nhan said Vietnam is home to about 12 million ha of wetlands, which are
important for food security and economic activities such as agriculture,
fisheries, forestry, and tourism, while holding scientific, educational,
cultural, and historical value for the Vietnamese people.
The coastal wetlands in Thai Thuy district are rich in biodiversity and have
been recognised as wetlands of national and international importance, he noted.
Nhan added that the establishment of the Thai Thuy Wetland Nature Reserve also
shows local authorities’ commitment to protecting the environment and preserving
wetland ecosystems.
