Strengthening forest land management

In recent times, the management and protection of forests and forest land in the province have achieved many positive results. However, there is still a risk of encroachment, illegal planting of trees, digging of ponds, construction of houses, huts, and other structures on forest land. In response to this situation, the Department of Agriculture and Environment has requested forest management units, the People's Committees of localities with forests, and the forest protection force to strengthen coordination in managing and protecting forest land, preventing and strictly handling violations.

Efforts to protect forest land

According to Mr. Ngo Cong Chau, Director of the Cam Lam - Cam Ranh - Khanh Son Protective Forest Management Board, the unit is assigned to manage over 30,320 hectares of forest and forest land in 6 communes and wards. Thanks to strengthened coordination, patrols, and control, in the first 6 months of this year, only 2 cases of encroachment on forest land occurred within the unit's forest area, a decrease of 18 cases compared to the same period in 2025. However, the management and protection of forest land in the unit currently faces many difficulties as the value of fruit trees increases, leading to high prices of land for fruit tree cultivation, especially in the Khanh Son area, so many people encroach on forest land for cultivation; areas of forest bordering people's fields and farms also show signs of encroachment in a kind of oil slick; people encroach on forest land, level the ground, dig ponds, and use land for purposes other than intended...

Forces from the Cam Lam - Cam Ranh - Khanh Son Protective Forest Management Board are raising awareness among the people about not encroaching on or occupying forest land.

At the Ninh Hoa - Van Ninh Protective Forest Management Board, preserving forest land is a top priority, especially in the Cam Xe forest area in Tay Ninh Hoa commune. The encroachment on Cam Xe forest land has significantly decreased thanks to close coordination between the forest management unit, relevant agencies, and local authorities. In the first six months of 2026, no incidents related to forest land encroachment were recorded in this area. Besides closely coordinating with inspection forces and the Tay Ninh Hoa Commune People's Committee in verifying and handling existing violations, the forest management unit maintains a presence in high-risk areas to promptly detect and prevent new incidents.
