Forest fires, expansion of agricultural land area: slash-and-burn farming, industrial crop planting; or stealing wood to sell... are the main causes leading to the reduction of forest area in Vietnam. Developing a sustainable forest management plan offers comprehensive and effective solutions to minimize these negative activities.

The plan outlines a plan to assign protection to communities, households, and individuals. At the same time, implement plans to protect forests and preserve biodiversity. Including protecting existing natural and planted forest areas; develop regulations and measures to protect forests; forest fire prevention and fighting plans; Preventing harmful organisms in the forest; In particular, biodiversity conservation and ecologically valuable forests are also emphasized.

Overall, the plan offers many solutions to implement:

- Solutions in management and human resources: must ensure reasonable arrangement and appropriate qualifications of staff to meet work tasks, guide local people on techniques for planting, caring for and exploiting forests, activities of collecting forest products, and instructing people according to conventions to use in appropriate forests according to sustainable forest management criteria. Coordinate with local communities to reduce or replace activities of collecting precious medicinal herbs and hunting small animals. The plan also provides reasonable solutions for activities that encroach on forestry land for farming purposes; For violations of the Forestry Law, there must be strong and drastic measures to demonstrate the severity of the Law.

- Scientific and technological solutions: improving and applying technical technology in forest resource management, closely monitoring ecological succession, biodiversity, forest growth and regeneration.

- Capital and market solutions are also important steps for sustainable forest management activities to take place smoothly and effectively. Seek additional funding from other sustainable forest management projects. Cooperate with businesses inside and outside the province to provide raw materials, processing supplies and stable consumption of output products.

Thus, with the development of a sustainable forest management plan at the Ia Grai Protection Forest Management Board, negative actions towards the forest will be minimized; Forest protection activities coupled with stable production that create valuable forest products and services for local development without degrading forest quality are promoted.
