The nature reserve is renowned for magnificent natural scenery, flora and fauna biodiversity, and various rare forestry products.

surveillance to maintain forest coverage and prevent acts harmful to forest.

1 village, Quy Hoa commune (Lac Son) maintain regular patrols to promptly
discover violators of forest protection rules.

coordinated with the local forest ranger force to ramp up inspection and
monitoring of the forests and neighbouring areas to prevent deforestation and
illegal exploitation of other forest resources. The commune has also
accelerated communication campaigns to increase aware of the importance of
forests to climate, water resources and fulfilment of socio-economic
development goals among local residents.
Located inside the Thuong Tien Nature Reserve, the villages of Thung 1, Thung 2
and Theu have the largest forest areas in the commune. Blessed with
breath-taking nature and tranquil atmosphere, they are also favourite
destinations for tourists. thanks to effective awareness campaigns, no illegal
logging has been found in the villages for years.
For nearly 2,000 hectares of production forest, the commune annually sends its
staff to instruct villagers in how to properly practice slash-and-burn farming
without causing forest fire. It also organises tree planting campaigns annually
to revive damaged forest areas and increase local forest coverage.
Bui Van Nhat, head of Thung 1 village said forest protection and maintenance of
green and clean living space have been regularly discussed at the village’s
meetings and broadcast on local radio. Strict punishments have been handed out
to violators, he noted, adding that each people has become aware of their
responsibility in protecting the forest and promptly reported about violations.
Twelve forest protection teams, including 3 – 5 members each, have been
established across the commune. There is also a mobile forest protection team,
comprising 20 members from local police and militia forces, which conducts
regular patrols to detect violations. They have kept day-and-night watch over
the forest and maintained regular exchange of information with officials from
neighbouring areas during the driest months of the year. These teams have
proved effective in preventing forest fire during summer and dry season.
Thanks to such efforts, the commune’s forest coverage has reached 80 percent.
