But even as productive land, its biological diversity is disappearing. The lesser diversity of agricultural species is far more susceptible to pests, nutrient loss, erosion and flooding. Today's children will give their children a poorer, less resilient environment unless the destruction of natural biodiversity can be reversed. Vietnam's parks, reserves and historical areas are vital in maintaining natural biodiversity. Even so, this system of reserves is discontinuous.
Vietnamese society is at a crucial point.
In the understandable desire to develop, Vietnam's natural roots are withering. Binh Chau - Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve, is one place we can make a difference through a restoration of nature appreciation, by nurturing wildlife instead of exploiting it and by understanding the worth of nature on its own. Binh Chau - Phuoc Buu Reserve can also be useful in promoting environmental awareness. Some funds for this project were provided through the kind donations of individuals and organisations to Australian Veteran's Vietnam Reconstruction Group and Australia Vietnam Science-Technology Link.
