Forest protection and development under review
Vietnam will close down natural forests in those localities where deforestation is occurring on a wide scale.
This is one of the major measures proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at a conference in Hanoi on Aug. 9-10 to discuss solutions to protect and develop forests.
Addressing the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dzung asked the agricultural sector to boost education to raise public awareness about forest protection.
He also instructed people’s committees at all levels, especially in localities where deforestation is reported frequently, to strengthen on-the-spot safeguarding forces.
