commune; and conducted inspections to detect the illegal trading and transport
of forest products in the locality.
Every year, the forest ranger force advises the
city People's Committee in building and implementing plans on forest protection
and fire protection and fighting. It also assisted the local authority in monitoring
forest resources and implementing working programs. The forest ranger force has
helped the People's Committees of 14 communes and wards in strengthening the Steering
Boards on forest protection and development, while maintaining 96 community-based

situations, and guided forest owners in implementing regulations on
agricultural production, and closely managed the use of fire in forests in the
