Southern Institute of Ecology
Mission statement
The Southern Institute Ecology is the governmental institution, under the management of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, based in Hochiminh City. We were established in 2012 from the core team that has been working together since 1999. The institute consists of four departments, namely Dept. of Botany, Zoology, Landscape and Ecology, and the Centre for Biodiversity and Development. We are the first institution to specialize in southern Vietnam’s ecology and our vision to become the cutting-edge research institution in study ecology, biodiversity, and conservation not only in Vietnam but also in Indochina.
