In central coastal Vietnam, local people cultivate their rice inside their Nypa forest area. Nypa helps to reduce the salt content in water, so that rice can develop well. This is a great example of great integrated use. However, nowadays under the impact of climate change and commercial crops, this landscape is disappearing.
