Mongabay.com, a leading forest conservation and environmental news website, has launched its “rainforest” site for children in Vietnamese.
The site is available at world.mongabay.com/vietnamese.
The new site was created by Nguyen Ngoc Khanh, who translated the text from English to Vietnamese.
Khanh is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2005, he was among three high school students in Hanoi to take part in a wildlife study program in South Africa.
Rhett Butler, mongabay.com's founder, says he hopes the site will be used in Vietnam to educate school children, as well as adults, about forests and the importance of protecting them.
Vietnam has lost nearly all of its primary forest cover, but is fast replanting trees in some parts of the country, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Mongabay's rainforest site for kids is now available in 33 languages - each of which has been translated by native speakers. An expanded version for adults is available in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, and Japanese.
