Central Highlands forestry institute loses 2,000 hectares of forest land
The Vietnam Academy of Forest Sciences has lost more than 2,000 hectares of forest land in the Central Highlands region over a period of 18 years.
In 2003, the branch of Vietnam Academy of Forest Sciences for the south-central and Central Highlands regions was assigned to manage 3,280 hectares (8,100 acres) of forest land in the province for a silviculture project. However, after receiving the land, the academy has lost more than 2,000 hectares of forest land to mismanagement, which included not having a plan to manage and protecting the forest, and having no action plan for forest fire prevention and response.
