Applying digital technology in forest management and protection
In the Government’s National Digital Transformation Programme to 2025, with a vision to 2030, agriculture is identified as one of the priority sectors. For the forestry sector, digital transformation has brought unification and simplified administrative procedures and contributed effectively to forest management, protection, and development.
SMART is a set of data management tools and patrol reports that are officially applied by many countries around the world at the national level to support the management and protection of protected areas.
According to the Department of Forestry, the establishment of a national database through a unified data management and patrol tool (SMART) used across the country on the management, protection, and conservation of biodiversity special-use and protected forests has served the management and inspection of management agencies from central to grassroots levels, contributing to the conservation and sustainable development of national biodiversity resources.
