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.
Gia Lai province has revised its reforestation plan following heavy losses caused by Storm No. 13, raising the 2026 planting target and rolling out measures to improve forest quality and sustainability.
Allocating forest land and protection contracts to local residents has significantly improved forest management in several western communes of Gia Lai province, authorities and community leaders say, strengthening conservation while supporting livelihoods.
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.
In 2025, forest management and protection efforts across the province are expected to see further positive developments, thanks to coordinated direction and the determined involvement of relevant forces.
