Vo Quy, Father of Environmental Conservation in Vietnam, Dies at 87

Prof. Vo Quy was a remarkable man, a much admired environmentalist, a popular TV host who made science accessible and entertaining.  He was a generous and caring human being whose twinkling eyes and modest good humor, and his integrity, positively influenced governments and party leaders, and several generations of Vietnamese citizens.  Dr. Quy introduced many foreigners to the rich diversity of Viet Nam’s flora and fauna and instilled in everyone a sense of personal responsibility for the preservation of this fragile environment. He was a determined but temperate leader in the struggle to understand the damage caused by Agent Orange and to seek justice for those affected by its consequences.

chanelnewsasia_HANOI: For weeks in January, an imposing bright red poster of Uncle Ho in silhouette dominated the streets around the National Convention Centre west of the Vietnamese capital. As the city’s frenetic motorbike traffic whizzed by, the poster’s technicolour trail of faces and flowers called on the young to “study and follow the moral example” of Vietnam’s revolutionary leader, Ho Chi Minh.

thediplomat_Some nights, the illuminated oval-shaped building hovering over a thick row of trees keeps Trinh Bui Kokkoris, 48, restless. Each time she looks out of the window from her apartment in Brooklyn Heights, the sight of the U.S. District Court reminds Trinh of the lawsuit she and her husband lost more than a decade ago with other Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange.
