Deforestation 1. Reality
in Vietnam - 27.260 cases of deforestation It was smart for you to
annually include the sources
- 58 localities closed their natural that way we know that
forests, the number reduced by the information you
35% (2016 – 2018) provided is reliable
- Deforestation, especially in the
Central Highlands, continues to
rage
2. Survey
- Scope: 12-18 teenagers This is way to small
- 43 participants and can not prove
- Result: anything, you should
• 73,3% are fully aware of put more effort in
the severity of such persuading people to
deforestation take part in the
• 26,7% are ignorant of the survey
alarming status quo
• 80% of them don’t know This is unnecessary
any project/organization
that has the solution to soil
pollution
3. Repercussion of clear-cutting
- Life-threatening impact on
animals and human beings
- Depletion of fertility
- Soil erosion  paucity of
plants affecting groundwater
resources
4. Solutions
- Raising awareness for dwellers
- No litter and 3R
- Supersede long-degradable
 materials, chemicals with
ecofriendly ones
- Afforestation

the seed
 Throw seed bomb to the

environmental needs are
met
 Spring and autumn: best

wards off birds feeding on
the seeds
 Ecofriendly, doesn’t entail
special equipment,
irrigation
 Getting people involved
4. Demerits
• Various factors must be
 adapted: rainfall, growth
speed, temperature,..
• The early and fast growing
species dominates, choking
out others
• Ground preparation is vital
5. Applications
Great evidence to back
- In Vietnam: Nui Chua National
up your point
Park in Ninh Thuan
+ Only a small steam that is
almost dried up
+ Small size seedbomb  light
transportation while commuting
+ Cadres, forestry workers on
duty would be granted seed
bombs to diverge when
conducting forest check
+ Tourists bestowed with seed
bombs and escorted to the
designated throwing area
- In foreign country: Kenya
+ Soil erosion is one of the most
serious challenges in the dry
ecosystems (spaning over 80%)
→ Protecting, growing more
indigenous trees is a way to
repair damaged landscape
+ Utilize helicopters, paragliding
flying through various empty
lands: drop packs of seed bombs
+ Tradition technique: $160/
hectare >< Seedbomb technique:
$8/ hectare
Our project Overview Can this actually
- A non-profit organization help you raise
established by a group of high awareness for
school students Vietnamese people?
- Scope: Young individuals who Because it is only a
