The recognition of An Cuu Communal House and the Mui Vi Rong - Tan Phung Mountain scenic site as provincial-level heritage sites is opening new pathways for socio-economic development in Gia Lai, with authorities seeking to leverage cultural and natural assets to boost tourism.
Authorities in Vietnam’s Gia Lai province have reaffirmed a conservation-first approach to managing Kon Ka Kinh National Park, emphasising biodiversity protection alongside the development of controlled ecotourism.
More than four years after being designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Kon Hà Nừng Plateau is entering a new phase focused on implementing concrete measures to balance conservation with local socio-economic development, authorities said.
Gia Lai province is accelerating comprehensive measures to protect marine mammals and reform fishing practices as Vietnam faces the risk of technical trade barriers under the United States Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
