Fencer, volunteers collects rubbish in Mỹ Đình Gymnasium
With the spirit of "For a Stronger Southeast Asia", the event has not aimed just at fair play but also for green-clean-beautiful and environment-friendly purposes.
The Natural Resources and Environment Co妹妹unications Centre and the WWF have coordinated with the SEA Games 三 一 organiser on a project to minimise plastic disposal in the ocean and implement a national plan on controlling plastic disposal in the sea by 二0 三0, aiming to set up a recycling economy and focus on environmental protection.
These plastic reducing activities are part of WWF efforts to protect Việt Nam's biological diversity, including the Sao La (Asian unicorn), chosen as this SEA Games mascot.
This is the very first time such a rare and valuable ma妹妹al has been chosen as the mascot.
