In recent years, functional forces, local authorities and people have accompanied and joined hands to effectively protect the Pù Huống Forest - one of the three core areas of the Western Nghệ An Biosphere Reserve.
Head of Nghệ An’s Na Kho Village Lữ Văn Uôn said to build the stable lives they have today, local people had to unite and be self-reliant in their work.
After 17 years in their new settlement, they have experienced significant improvements in both material and spiritual well-being. The most remarkable change is their increased focus on agricultural and livestock development, and concerning the education of their children.
