Empowering Local Communities to Engage in Conservation and Management of Priority Key Biodiversity Areas and Threatened Primate and Plant Species in the Sino-Vietnamese Limestone Corridor

Engage local communities in conservation efforts for threatened primate and tree species at three priority sites in northern Vietnam by increasing ethnic minority representation in protected area co-management bodies; developing conservation action plans taking into account local concerns; improving local understanding of conservation-related legislation; enabling benefit sharing for local communities from natural resource management; and promoting locally appropriate livelihood alternatives.
