Vietnam's Green Corridor
The Green Corridor of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Hành lang xanh của Việt Nam) is the international and national project name for one of the last remaining lowland wet evergreen forests, and supports significant populations of threatened species. It is located in Thua Thien-Hue Province, and is also part of Vietnam's Annamite Mountain Range. The area includes some of the longest remaining stretches of lowland river with intact forest habitat in Vietnam, which feed into the Perfume River. The rainforests of the Central Annamites likely existed as continuous undisturbed forest cover for thousands of years, and, as a result, offer unique habitats for many species. The name "Green Corridor" (Vietnamese Hành lang xanh) originates in preparatory project documents of the WWF.
