International climate change scientists met with Mekong Delta local
experts and communities to discuss measures to cope with climate impacts
at Kien Giang province's Rach Gia city on June 23.
Speaking at the Forum "Biodiversity and Climate Change at Mekong Delta", Dr Geoffrey Blate, Climate Change Coordinator of WWF's Greater Mekong Programme, said it's high time the area sought proper solutions to preserve the region's biodiversity and to cope with other negative impacts of global warming.
About 130 delegates from the Kien Giang province Committee, National Committee and WWF participated in the forum aiming to raise people's awareness about the value of biodiversity and ecology in coping with global warming in the region.
The climate change forum also discussed the significant roles of Biosphere Reserve Zones.
Nguyen Hoang Tri, general secretary of the National Committee of Programme on Vietnam People and Biosphere, said Kien Giang Province will introduce the World Biosphere Reserve Zone this week, making it one of the world's biggest biosphere zones with a range of tropical eco-systems.
Global warming has been proven worldwide to have negative impacts on biodiversity, especially in the Mekong Delta, experts have warned.
The Mekong Delta is the hub of biodiversity in the Asia Pacific region, known for the large number of endangered species in recent years and 1,000 new species discovered during the last decade.
The Biosphere Reserve Zone would be an effective measure to cope with the climate change by conserving biodiversity as well as cultural and traditional values, Tri of the National Committee of the Programme on Vietnam People and Biosphere, noted.
Specific measures to ensure biodiversity in coping with climate change in the Delta will be presented at an international seminar on Biodiversity and Climate Change on June 24 in Rach Giá city.
The United Nation has chosen this year as the year of Sustainable Development and Biodiversity./.
