Goals & Objectives
The project aims to improve degraded natural forest in Hoa BInh province by applying forest enrichment measure using high valuable native species, contributing to the increment of the environmental value and livelihood of local people. Its objectives are as follows:
- Assess the degraded natural forest status, forest enrichment models, techniques applied, and related policies in Hoa Binh province;
- Develop appropriate technical guidelines in forest enrichment using high valuable native species in Hoa Binh province based on assessment results and information attained;
- Organize and carry out technical trainings for relevant stakeholders in Hoa Binh province; and
- Build the demonstration plots using the technical guideline. (These demonstration plots will be maintained even after the termination of the project to attain sufficient results for enhancing the technical guideline and trainings).
