7 .The background and necessity of the project:
Management Board of Western Yen Tu Area Nature Conservation came into
operation in 2002 , with the main task is managing , protecting , developing and
using natural resources rationally, protecting the biodiversity of animals and plants
as well as precious genetic resources of Vietnam and the whole world, stabilizing
people's life in the area .
The detailed data on flora and fauna resources so far mainly bases on the results of
preliminary investigations, which is considered as the basis for the establishment
of the area. Recent survey results have added more figures of biological diversity
of the current resources. However, there are still many factors yet to be fully
collected, on both species composition and distribution of their status, especially
international conservation importance species. Therefore, the study of the status of
rare flora and fauna as a basis to propose conservation solutions are necessary and
urgent.
7 . The goal of the project
- Long-term goal: contributing to the conservation of biological diversity of
ecosystems northeastern Vietnam.
- Short-term goal: conserving and developing current existing plants and animals;
investigating the current status, recovering rare plants and animals which are in
danger of extinction.

10. Preliminary study of project feasibility
The project “Research situation and conservation solutions for rare flora and fauna
species" at Western Yen Tu Nature Conservation is feasible if early invested by
aids from foreign NGOs and a part of local reciprocal capital. The implementation
solutions are in accordance with the actual situation and have high effectiveness.
The project receives full support of the people and local government. Besides, the
implementor has much experience in the managing and implementing other
projects.
11. Preliminary evaluation of project effectiveness
When the project is completed, the Management Board of Yen Tu Nature Reserve
will capture the full list of species, discover rare genetic resources and distribution
map of species. Since then, the conservation solutions will become more practical
and effective. Once the programs and projects on implementation silvicultural
items and forest ecosystem restoration are done, the value of the forest will be
constantly improved.
The educational activities to raise awareness for the community are implemented
under various forms. This schedule will provide an opportunity for the
Management Board and the local community to identify the demand for resource
and forestry access issues, which are closely related to the management and
protection of forest resources.
