To keep the forests green forever

Lao Cai province currently has more than 859,000 hectares of forest, of which 473,000 hectares are natural forests, more than 385,000 hectares are planted forests, with a forest coverage rate of more than 60%. With the desire to maintain and expand the green color of the forests, the authorities, localities and people are working day and night to protect and develop them, so that the forests will always be green.

In recent times, the Provincial Forest Protection Department has proactively developed forest management and protection plans suitable to the actual situation, promoting the core role of local forest rangers in accompanying the people in forest protection and forestry development.

There are currently 32 ranger stations in the province under the ranger departments. The stations are located in key areas with many forests, performing the task of advising and coordinating with local authorities to carry out forest protection and development work.

The forestry sector is actively applying information technology in forest protection and development. Satellite forest inspection is carried out to promptly detect forest incidents, thereby providing effective protection solutions.

Forests are closely associated with people's lives, therefore, to promote people's strength, functional forces should increase propaganda about the value of forests and actively coordinate with people to protect forests.

Forest protection teams were established in villages and groups in the province with dozens of people in each group. This is the "extended arm" of the functional forces in patrolling and protecting the forest. "People born from the forest, actively protecting the forest" is an effective way that the forestry sector has been implementing for many years.

Loving and protecting the forest, in the villages and hamlets of the highlands, the Dao, Mong, Nung, Ha Nhi... also created forbidden forests and built huts to worship the forest god. According to the beliefs of each ethnic group, they will choose a good day and month of the year to hold a forest worship ceremony to thank the forest god for protecting, defending and giving the villagers life from the forest.

Together, we cultivate and develop, Lao Cai forests are increasingly protected and developed. In the green forests, large trees and ancient trees are enclosed and protected, to preserve precious genetic resources.

Rekindling love for the forest with the beats of protecting and developing the forest along with the steps of "overcoming the sun and rain" is creating miracles for the green forest.
