LuxGroup Foundation, in partnership with Cuon Hood Entertainment, Green Dream, and the Propaganda Department of Van Chan District, is thrilled to announce the launch of the “Green Seedling ” project.

Supporting Communities After Typhoon Yagi: LuxGroup Foundation’s Commitment to Restoration and Growth
In the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which brought devastating floods and landslides to northern Vietnam, LuxGroup Foundation has been at the forefront of supporting recovery efforts for affected communities. The “Green Seedling Project” is the latest in a series of impactful initiatives by the foundation. Following a successful Ha Long Bay cleanup in September 2024 and significant financial support for flood-stricken areas, this project focuses on long-term restoration by addressing the environmental challenges and the vulnerabilities exposed by recent disasters in Yen Bai.

Typhoon Yagi highlighted the urgent need to invest in nature-based solutions that not only restore the landscape but also provide communities with resilient, sustainable economic opportunities. The “Green Seedling Project” seeks to harness the power of reforestation to stabilize the soil, regulate water flow, and prevent further erosion in this high-risk area. Through this initiative, LuxGroup Foundation and its partners aim to enhance the resilience of local ecosystems and communities, making future natural disasters less severe and damaging.
The Significance of Planting Trees in “Green Seedling” Projects in Yen Bai
This “Green Seedling Project” aims to restore Yen Bai’s forest areas, heavily impacted by floods and landslides, and to bring lasting benefits to the local community. After the severe effects of Typhoon Yagi, trees will help stabilize the soil, regulate water flow, and mitigate disaster risks. Each tree planted not only absorbs CO₂ and purifies the air but also creates habitats for wildlife, supporting biodiversity. As the forest regenerates, it opens opportunities for residents to develop ecotourism, fostering sustainable income and attracting visitors to Yen Bai’s natural beauty while promoting economic growth through environmental stewardship.
The “Green Seedling Project” was conceived to restore critical forest areas and support the sustainable development of Yen Bai’s local economy. By planting 2,000 trees, the project seeks to address both environmental and socio-economic needs, creating a stronger foundation for the community’s future.

Environmental Restoration and Disaster Risk Reduction
Forests play a vital role in protecting the land from natural disasters, which have become more frequent and severe due to climate change. By restoring forest cover in areas damaged by Typhoon Yagi, trees can naturally stabilize the soil and regulate water flow, which helps mitigate the risk of floods, landslides, and soil erosion. A well-rooted forest serves as a natural shield, absorbing excess water and reducing the destructive potential of heavy rainfall.
Enhancing Air Quality and Combating Climate Change
Each tree planted through the “Green Seedling Project” will absorb CO₂ and release oxygen, contributing to a cleaner atmosphere. Trees act as a vital component in combating climate change by capturing greenhouse gases, thereby reducing carbon levels in the atmosphere. The restoration of forests also serves as a defense against air pollution, providing cleaner, fresher air for local residents and visitors alike.
Supporting Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
The introduction of native trees through this project creates habitats that support a wide range of species, thus fostering biodiversity. By restoring these areas, we are not only aiding local wildlife but also strengthening the broader ecosystem, which is crucial for the survival and thriving of various plant and animal species. A rich biodiversity further enhances the ecological balance, making the environment more resilient and self-sustaining.
Economic Growth Through Sustainable Ecotourism
As forested areas are restored, Yen Bai becomes more attractive as an ecotourism destination, offering a tranquil, natural environment for travelers seeking meaningful travel experiences. This initiative provides opportunities for locals to benefit economically by promoting ecotourism, with the potential to establish eco-lodges, guided nature walks, and cultural tours. Through sustainable tourism, the community can generate lasting income while preserving the natural environment they call home.
How to Join the “Green Seedling Project” with LuxGroup Foundation
LuxGroup Foundation invites participation from both local and international communities. With only 30,000 VND (estimated at around 1.2 US$), you can contribute a tree to help protect the environment and support sustainable development in the area.
The tree-planting event will take place on November 24, 2024, in Suoi Quyen Commune, Van Chan District, Yen Bai Province. Donations to support the project are welcomed from those unable to attend in person.
Together, let’s plant seeds of green for a sustainable future, protecting both the environment and the local community. Each contribution of 30,000 VND is equivalent to planting one tree in Yen Bai – a small step with a lasting impact on environmental protection and sustainable local development.
Together for planting trees with Green Seedling Project
The “Green Seedling Project” is more than an environmental initiative; it’s a movement toward creating a world where communities and nature flourish side by side. With each tree, we are sowing the seeds of hope, resilience, and growth for Yen Bai and beyond. Join LuxGroup Foundation in this journey of green transformation—together, we can build a brighter, more sustainable future.
