Ancient trees in protection forest illegally felled
Several ancient trees in the protection forest at Van Canh District (Binh Dinh Province) have been illegally logged without detection of forest rangers working nearby.
Since 2016, the Prime Minister has resolutely forbidden the transfer from poor natural forests into agricultural land. The reality, however, shows that many forest areas in the South Central, Central Highlands, and Southwest regions have gradually been destroyed for the sake of crop growing.
