Our living environment and biodiversity are increasingly threatened by negative impacts such as climate change, environmental pollution, deforestation, wildlife poaching, which have pushed many species to the brink of extinction and caused serious consequences for human life.

Buddhism, with its profound moral and philosophical values, always emphasizes the harmony between humans and nature.

Therefore, the seminar “Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation from a Buddhist Perspective” was organized by the Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha of Thua Thien Hue Province, in coordination with the Thua Thien Hue Forest Management Board and the Choice Non-Profit Company. The aim is to call for the participation of monks, nuns, Buddhists and the whole community in not killing, harming and trading in wildlife. At the same time, encourage each individual to actively participate in protecting biodiversity, the environment and wildlife conservation.

The program was attended by guests:

• Venerable Thich Hue Phuoc – Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha Provincial Board in Thua Thien Hue
• Venerable Thich Quang Tu – Secretary General of the Provincial Board and Head of the Information and Communication Department of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha in Thua Thien Hue
• Venerable Thich Chi Vien – Deputy Secretary of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha Provincial Board in Thua Thien Hue
• Mr. Le Ngoc Tuan – Director of the Thua Thien Hue Provincial Forestry Sub-department
