Approval of national biodiversity conservation plan to 2050
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on November 8 signed Decision No. 1352/QD-TTg, approving the National Biodiversity Conservation Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. The plan aims to expand protected areas to 6.6 million ha through the establishment of 61 new conservation zones.
Eight key strategies will support the implementation, with a focus on policies, capacity building, funding, community awareness, international cooperation, and monitoring. Enhanced scientific research and technology adoption are central, including a remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) to oversee biodiversity, models for sustainable ecotourism, and community-led conservation efforts.
