The
Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology has published a set of 36 books on
Vietnamese animals and plants, providing valuable information about the
potential and abundance of Vietnam’s
fauna and floral resources.

The books are the fruits of a 15-year project of scientists
at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. There are 25 books on animals
and 11 on plants. Each volume is about 350-400 pages.

The books were compiled since 1996, aiming to make the
foundation for planning, developing, using and preserving Vietnam’s fauna and floral
resources.

This is the first collection of books to specifically
highlight Vietnam’s
diversity of biological resources.

International organizations, particularly the International
Union for Conservation of Nature and the World Wildlife Fund, highly appreciate
the books and consider them as an event in the field of research and preserve
biodiversity in the region and the world.
