Vietnam to launch new national park
Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung has approved the establishment of Phia Oac-Phia Den National Park, Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province.
The project is designed to recover natural forests and tree plantations by increasing the forest coverage to 95% by 2030 from the 84% in 2016. Phia Oac-Phia Den National Park encompasses a total area of more than 10,590 hectares, spreading across Thanh Cong, Quang Thanh, Phan Thanh, and Hung Dao communes, as well as Tinh Tuc town.
The project will include a public awareness campaign to highlight the protection of forest resources and the conservation of biodiversity. The project will also aim to restore the forest ecosystem and construct infrastructure for conservation, as well as develop tourism and environmental education. It will also facilitate scientific research and the training of human resources.
The Government has tasked the park’s managing board with protecting and enriching the existing natural forest by growing rare native plants. The board will also be responsible for improving the forest’s capability to retain more water, prevent land erosion and floods, and protect the biosphere, so that people will be encouraged to live in the lower areas.
The national park aims to safeguard 90 species of flora and 50 species of rare and precious fauna, as well as protect cultural values, the natural landscape, and the local environment.
In addition, the park will serve as a natural system to improve water retention, prevent floods and soil erosion, ensure environmental security, and stablise the lives and production of residents in the downstream areas.
Phia Oac-Phia Den National Park will be divided into three functional sections: a strictly restricted zone, an ecological rehabilitation zone, and an administrative zone. The first zone will cover more than 4,000 hectares, with various kinds of forests, including tropical rain forests and temperate forests. The buffer zone of the park, with an area of over 8,200 hectares, will stretch across six communes.
