What GreenViet does

GreenViet (Trung tâm Bảo tồn Đa dạng sinh học Nước Việt Xanh / GreenViet Biodiversity Conservation Centre) is a Vietnamese non-profit Science and Technology organization founded in 2012 and headquartered in Da Nang. It operates across five provinces of Central Vietnam and the Central Highlands (Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Kon Tum, and Khanh Hoa), delivering programs in endangered primate conservation, urban reforestation, environmental education, and community livelihood development. Its primary conservation work focuses on the three endemic douc langur species — Red-shanked (Son Tra Peninsula), Grey-shanked (Quang Nam/Quang Ngai/Kon Tum), and Black-shanked (Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Khanh Hoa) — using techniques such as line transects and camera traps, with embedded staff stationed at the Six Senses resort.

The organization runs an integrated portfolio of programs: species-specific conservation initiatives, the Million Urban Trees (Một triệu cây xanh đô thị) planting program (100,000+ trees since 2020 across Da Nang, Hue, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City), the Nature Education Center (NEC / Nature Dance) open free to the public (2,650+ visitors in 2025), the Vietnam Nature Reserve Fund – Central Branch (a sub-granting vehicle for local CSOs), and the EU Delegation-funded 'Women and Circular Economy' project (2025-2028) targeting 300 women with green-economy training. Underlying delivery is human-intensive field biology and community outreach rather than a proprietary technology platform; the organization has no software product, no app, and no API.

GreenViet's revenue model is project-grant and donation based. Primary funding comes from international institutional donors — the EU Delegation to Vietnam, GSI (Germany), WWF-Vietnam, and USAID — supplemented by corporate sponsorships (Dai-ichi Life, dentsu, Panasonic, Masan, VNG) and individual donations including a per-unit tree-planting scheme (VND 130,000-150,000 per tree). Programs are delivered directly in target communities and through partner networks such as Women's Unions, Youth Unions, and schools. The organization is privately governed, has 1-10 employees, and is not an investable equity entity.
