 To celebrate the forests and their importance for communities in Thua Thien Hue, a series of photographs were commissioned by WWF, to highlight the important role of forests and to promote the new truly ‘eco’ tourism project, ‘One Day, One Night, One Adventure,’ in A Loui. The works, by two highly celebrated and internationally recognized local photographers, Mr. Pham Ba Thinh and Mr. Dang Van Tran, portray the interrelationships between the forests and people’s livelihoods, and further investigates the significance of this relationship in the culture, economy, and daily lives of the local people.

The Green Corridor is the area between Bach Ma National Park and Phong Dien Nature Reserve in Thua Thien Hue Province in Central Vietnam. Through regional biological assessments the forest area has been identified as one of the highest conservation priorities in Vietnam. It is one of the last remaining lowland wet evergreen forests, and supports populations of threatened species. It also includes some of the longest remaining stretches of Lowland River, within intact forest habitat, in Vietnam. 
Established in June 2004, the Green Corridor project is a four-year project implemented by the WWF Vietnam programme and Forest Protection Department of Thua Thien Hue province, supported by the World Bank - Global Environmental Facility (GEF), with co-funding from the Dutch Development Organization (SNV), the People’s Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province, and WWF. The aim of the project is to strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders and to conserve the landscape of the Green Corridor area.
Climate change is inevitable. This means we have to develop methodologies to enable species to be able to cope with the rapid climatic change. WWF
