Along with forest management and protection, the Management Board attached special importance to biodiversity conservation and supervision. The Board conducted 15 inspecting and supervising routes to safeguard Pa Co pines, red pines, Yunnan cypress (Calocedrus macrolepis), fokienia…and some other endemic species, making a complete inventory of Pa Co pines in place and assessing the distribution and growth of these plants in the two communes of Hang Kia and Pa Co; supervising, creating encoded GPS location markings for constant monitoring.
