  1. Collaboration for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD) Program ACHIEVEMENTS AND LESSON LEARN FROM IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY-BASED FOREST DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT Project title: Sustainable community-based forest development and management in some high-poverty areas in Bac Kan province Project code: CARD 017/06VIE Tran Van Dien1, Tran Thi Thu Ha1 and Khongsak Pinyopusarerk2 Authors: Project Implementing organisations: 1 Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry, Thai Nguyen, Vietnam 2 CSIRO Plant Industry, GPO Box 1600, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 1. Introduction The Land Law which came into effect on July 1, 2004 allows communities (villages) to Ethnic minority communities in the remote receive land and forest land [3]. However, mountainous northern provinces of Vietnam there is no mechanism to realise this option. A are among the poorest in the country, with project supported by AusAID’s Collaboration limited access to agricultural land, health for Agriculture and Rural Development facilities, markets and infrastructure. Van (CARD) program developed mechanisms Minh and Lang San communes of Na Ri under Community Forestry Management district in Bac Kan province have poverty rates including participatory land use planning and of 63-68% [1]. Forested land comprises 84% land allocation to facilitate land distribution and 90% respectively of the total land area and and address the sustainable management of the is of paramount importance for community forest. livelihoods, including collection of firewood and harvesting food and herbal medicinal The project Goal is plants. However, lack of access to utilise forest land and unequal allocation of forest areas to Sustainable improvement in livelihood security the poorer families have led to serious poverty of disadvantaged forest-dependent people in of many households. Management of the forest northern mountainous areas, through has also exacerbated the situation through empowerment of access to forest and forest many problems: (i) low productivity due to land, influence over forest land management, forest degradation after excessive use and little conservation of the natural resources and investment; (ii) perceptions of forest as development of relevant skills. common land with free access, with unclear 2. Methodology boundaries and poorly defined ownership obligations; (iii) few incentives to reinvest in Four villages: Na Muc and Khuoi Lieng in the forest (no security) and reluctance to take Van Minh commune and To Dooc and Ban direct responsibility for the land; (iv) poor Sang in Lang San commune in Na Ri district, awareness of user rights, forest laws and Bac Kan province which have community regulations, and rights of participation in forest lands were selected to be the research official processes such as forest land site for the project. The community forest allocation; and (v) very limited support from lands were target area for project interventions government agencies in approaches to which included land use planning, forest land effectively use the forest land and earn income allocation, forest enrichment, nursery, [2]. plantation and agro-forestry development.

The allocation process met through forest survey to identify the many difficulties both paper work and field productivity as well as biodiversity. The social work. The most difficult work was solving economic condition of local community and conflicts on the border of community forest. the dependency of livelihood of local In the past, community forest was considered community on the forest were identified by common property which was freely exploited socio-economic survey. The data relating to by local people from many villages. Therefore land use planning, forest land allocation, forest it was extremely difficult to allocate the enrichment, nursery, plantation and agro- community forest to only one particular forestry models were also recorded in the field village. However, by participatory approach in based samples. The processes of land solving the problems, consensus was achieved allocation, management of community forest among neighboring villages.

  4. CARD 017/06 – Community based forest management 3.3.2 Capacity building for local people Based on the training needs of local community, various trainings were conducted as presented in Table 3. Most of the trainings were conducted using Farmer Field School (FFS) approach. The trainings helped all local community members to be aware of laws on forest protection and development and be more knowledgeable and skillful in technical issues relating to forest management.

Key inputs provided by the projects and community workshops for sharing project included training in nursery experience. management and provision of access to quality genetic seed sources of Acacia mangium (keo) (from CSIRO and Forest Science Institute of 3.3.3 Establishment of village-based nurseries Vietnam) and Manglietia conifera (Mo). During three years of project implementation, One of the constraints in development of both a large number of forest seedlings were community forest lands and household produced for planting in both community allocated lands is the lack of quality forest forest lands and household allocated lands as seedlings. Some projects had provided presented in the Table 4. seedlings to area but it was not successful. The survival rate was very low probably due to the long distance in transport of seedlings to the village sites. Therefore, the establishment of village nursery garden to produce the seedling near plantation site is not only to ensure the high survival rate of seedlings but also create potential income generation for local people. The project facilitated the establishment of village-based community nurseries to raise quality tree seedlings for sale or distribution to land owners. The project has 231
