Summary
Tuyen Hoa’s (Central Vietnam) forest biodiversity, including the rare Hatinh langur and ebony and legume trees, are threatened by habitat conversion and resources over-exploitation. This project will build local people’s capacity to draw on alternative livelihood options through agroforestry and participation in forest restoration. Collaboratively developed by the local communities and authorities, these activities will provide practical examples of community co-management of Special-use forest in the short-term, whilst serving as models for replication in national policy frameworks in the long-term.
