Thanks to effective forest protection and development, particularly large timber plantations meeting FSC standards, Na Hau Nature Reserve in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai now meets the criteria for exporting carbon credits, promising significant future revenue for the state.

The Forest Festival in Na Hau commune, a unique ceremony that involves praying for good fortune, is a contributor to not only the preservation of material and spiritual values of the Mong ethnic group but also to forest protection.
