About the unit's science and technology achievements in the last 5 years
Each year, the Institute of Natural Resources and Environment presides over the implementation of about 80-100 science and technology tasks at all levels, including many state-level, ministerial-level, and provincial-level projects related to Vietnam's fauna and flora, the use of sustainable use of biological resources, biodiversity and conservation of genetic resources, ecology, environmental impact assessment and effects of climate change, monitoring and treatment of environmental pollution. The Institute of Biological Resources has made many contributions to the cause of protecting natural resources, using and sustainably developing biological resources both on land, sea and islands. Institute staff have participated in research and building technical arguments, investment projects to establish more than 50 nature reserves, building dossiers of world natural heritage sites, ASEAN heritage gardens, and protected areas. RAMSAR wetland conservation in Vietnam. The Institute of Wildlife Conservation has been honored as an organization with many contributions to wildlife research and conservation in the period 2010-2020.
