Mekong Delta takes multiple measures to prevent forest fires
Authorities in the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta are strengthening measures to prevent forest fires as the region enters its peak dry season and forests become highly vulnerable to fires.
With a total area of nearly 40,000sq.km, the delta, which comprises 12 provinces and Cần Thơ City, has about 347,500ha of different types of forests, including mangrove forests, cajuput forests, national parks, nature reserves and bird sanctuaries.
