This study, conducted by PanNature with financial and technical support from the NTFP-EP program, primarily aims to evaluate the impact of community consultation processes and mechanisms ensuring community participation in recognizing traditional rights in Vietnam, with a particular emphasis on Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). The study focuses on regions characterized by mountainous terrain and forest landscapes.
The Poor, Agro-forestry Products, and the Market
Over 85% of protected areas and national parks in Vietnam are situated in rural and remote areas, where the poverty rate still remains high. Local communities living in these areas depend heavily on natural resources for livelihoods. PanNature looks at the case in Hang Kia – Pa Co Nature Reserve in Hoa Binh province to find solutions for linking the poor with the market. Findings from this research project will help PanNature formulate an intervention project to improve livelihoods of local people while protecting the nature reserve.
