(HBO) – To proactively cope with extreme weather, especially the recent prolonged heat waves, Lac Son district’s forest ranger force has coordinated with relevant agencies to well implement regulations on forest protection and management and prevention of forest fire.
In the first half of 2018, the district’s forests have been protected with no violations recorded.
Lac
Son district’s forest rangers and the forest guard team of the district’s Tu Do
commune have held regular patrols.
The district’s forest rangers have tightened monitoring of local
forests and paid special attention to protecting the core forest areas and
preventing forest fire.
They have also worked with local authorities and agencies to hold
educational activities to raise awareness of regulations on forest protection
and development among individuals and organisations.
During the first 6 months of this year, the Lac Son forest
protection bureau has provided training on forest and forestry-related
regulations for over 3,800 people in the district. In addition, they have
cooperated with local media agencies to publish news on local activities to
protect and expand forests and produce forestry products. The bureau also encouraged
local people to develop forest-based economic activities, thus reducing poverty
and contributing to local efforts of building new-style rural areas.
The local forest ranger force, police and military command have
together adopted a mechanism for coordination in maintaining social order and
security in the district. The forces also built a plan on conducting joint combat
drills combined with forest fire fighting across the district’s communes and
towns.
The forest rangers have conducted regular inspections of forestation
activities in the province and shared experience in forest management.
Furthermore, they have partnered with local judicial body to
promptly settle forest land-related disputes and complaints in the communes of
Lien Vu, Binh Hem and Yen Phu and cooperated with forest rangers of
Cuc
Phuong
National Park and Pu
Luong Nature Reserve in management and protection of forests in contiguous
areas.
Some 360 forest guard teams, comprising of 1,500 members, have
been set up at 29 communes and townships in Lad Son district. The forest
rangers have collaborated with the local administrations to guide local people
on how to proper clear land for farming and prevent fire from spreading to the
forest. They also regularly clean up dead plants and maintain anti-fire
corridor in high-risk areas. Local people have been also urged to keep fire
fighting equipment in their homes.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
