Climate change, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss, for us, are familiar terms. In fact, these terms have been found only by scientists. However, scientists’ efforts alone can not bring us success in dealing with these problems. Fortunately, everyone’s knowledge and attitude can. Plans to solve these problems have been proposed by many groups, such as administrators (or policy makers), law executors, producers, and consumers, etc. The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is one of many examples in which people all over the world are working together to mitigate climate change. Therefore, a multi-directional approach is a part of the appropriate solution in many circumstances.
Green Environment Centre (GEC) is a non-profit organization, one of the scientific centres belonging to the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations. GEC was established in 2016 by a group of young multi-disciplinary scientists, to develop the idea that conservation goals must be solved by a different approach: using multi-disciplinary solutions. Nearly half of the GEC members are biologists, especially environmentalists and zoologists; other members (including lawyers, engineers, architects, economists, social scientists, and artists) are an indispensable part of the group. This multi-disciplinary approach helps to give GEC the ability to give legally appropriate, technologically up-to-date, cost-effective, and socially attractive solutions for animal conservation and other environmental issues.
