Eight coastal localities get more support in forestry modernisation
The 4,040 hectares of forests planted and restored in the first phase of the World Bank (WB)-funded Forest Sector Modernisation and Coastal Resilience Enhancement Project will receive further care, as Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has issued a decision on the adjustment of the project investment, an official has said.
Under the project, 37,956 hectares of protective forests are being reviewed and protected to complete protection fee payment, and the entire area of protective forests will be handed over to the localities after 2026 for further management and protection. At the same time, the project has put in place about 100 livelihood investment packages in five localities, and it will maintain the results of the 50 packages done in the first phase.
