GIA LAI Forests in Chư Pưh District in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai are facing a high risk of illegal forest destruction.
To minimise deforestation, local authorities have assigned new forestland to local people under contracts signed between the Forest Protection Department and households.
Phạm Văn Đạo, head of Chư Pưh District’s Forest Protection Department, said mostly ethnic minorities households in the district had registered to protect the forest.
