HERITAGE TREES AT SAIGON ZOO AND BOTANICAL GARDENS – “LIVING WITNESSES” IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

On December 29, 2024, Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens in collaboration with the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment held a ceremony to officially recognize several outstanding ancient trees within its grounds as Vietnam Heritage Trees. This event not only honors the long-standing natural and cultural values of these rare botanical species, but also reinforces efforts to spread messages of green living, love for nature, and promoting environmental protection within the community.
