IN THE HEART OF THE MEKONG DELTA

A vital plain

Synopsis

Formed by the muddy deposits carried by one of the biggest rivers in the world, the Mekong Delta is characterized by its extraordinary fertility. Here, Nature is overwhelming, and the vegetation is exuberant.

Its nine branches delineate a vast and highly fertile plain crossed by a dense network of canals plied by legions of boats.

This vast area, known as the Vietnam rice bowl, has been good to Humans and animals alike. Indeed, despite its agricultural development, the Mekong Delta has an essential and vibrant biodiversity.
