(HBO) - The management board of the Hang Kia – Pa Co natural reserve has given Kha A Lu and his wife Vang Y Mai the permission to monitor a vast primitive forest near his home in Hang Kia commune, Mai Chau district. Despite being a tourist site, the trail leading to the top of Rong (dragon) mountain – the highest and most charming area in Hang Kia – Pa Co – is free from litter.
Kha A Lu and his wife
join personnel of the management board of the Hang Kia – Pa Co natural reserve in
checking the forest area under their protection.
Lu’s family was the first household in Hang Kia to have become
the manager of a hundreds-of-hectare primitive forest located behind their
house. Right after taking the mission, Lu came to each house in his hamlet to
tell them not to cut down trees. He and his wife even traveled to other hamlets
in Pa Co commune, including Pa Co Con, Pa Hang Con, and Pa Hang Lon, to carry
out their communications work.
As a result, the entire limestone forest on top of the Pa Co
mountain, which used to be exploited rampantly, has been well preserved. In
addition to forest-keeping, keepers also need to make a living from the forest.
After days of thinking and taking into account suggestions of the management
board of the Hang Kia – Pa Co natural reserve, the couple decided to begin
offering tourism services, turning the forest of rare flora and fauna into an
eco-site and a trekking route.
On a monthly basis, the family welcomes hundreds of domestic
and foreign arrivals. Among the visitors to the site, there were also local
people who came to hear and see the couple’s story of keeping an evergreen
forest right in their hometown./.
