Of which, 22 projects changed the purpose of forest use to build hydropower projects, 22 projects changed the purpose to build business projects, and 77 projects changed the purpose to build public projects.
Also from 2018 to present, the whole province has organized reforestation of more than 690 hectares. Of which, in 2021, the reforestation achieved the highest results with 337.75 hectares (Van Ban 100 hectares, Bac Ha 70.05 hectares, Bao Yen 60 hectares, Muong Khuong 57.6 hectares, Bat Xat 50 hectares).

According to the assessment of the Provincial People's Committee, the reforestation work in the area has contributed to greening bare land and hills, protecting water resources in the upstream area, ensuring ecological balance, increasing forest cover, contributing to completing the goal of increasing forest cover in the whole province to 58.5% by the end of 2023 and striving to reach 60% by 2025.
However, the work of reforestation to change the purpose of forest use to other purposes in the province is still slow, not meeting the progress and remaining budget. There are some areas of reforestation in high and remote locations, the weather is harsh, so the survival rate of trees is not high, the trees grow and develop slowly.
