Project to develop multi-use values of forest ecosystem to 2030 approved
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang on February 29 signed a decision approving a project on developing multi-use values of the forest ecosystem to 2030, with a vision to 2050.
The project aims to improve the efficiency of management and sustainable use of forest resources; create jobs, increase incomes, stabilise and improve the material and spiritual lives of ethnic minorities, mountainous people, forestry workers and those living near forests, thus contributing to socio-economic development, conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, environmental protection, and climate change adaptation.
It is also expected to preserve and promote cultural and historical values, indigenous knowledge of local communities; and help ensure national security and defence.
