To develop and implement optimal models of integrated sustainable forest management in the upper reaches of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), combining ecosystem-based approaches with local economic development to enhance the ecological, economic, and social functions of forests.

Develop a Master Plan for Integrated Forest Ecosystem Management and a Forest Management Action Plan for Wanzhangshan Forest Farm.

Establish integrated forest ecosystem management demonstration plots using scientific analysis and planning, selecting the most effective forest management models based on evaluations of advanced techniques and best practices.

Position the project site as a regional model for integrated forest ecosystem management in the GMS region by disseminating outcomes and strengthening capacity-building initiatives.

Master Plan for Integrated Forest Ecosystem Management (2017–2036) and Forest Management Action Plan (2017–2026) for Wanzhangshan Forest Farm, Pu’er Prefecture.

Demonstration of forest tending and thinning techniques for young and middle-aged Pinus kesiya and Betula alnoides forest stands.

Establishment of a high-efficiency resin production demonstration plot and development of a technical manual for resin collection.

Implementation of integrated secondary forest management practices.

Creation of a high value plant collection garden featuring species from the South Subtropical Region.

Capacity-building through training programs, knowledge exchange, and stakeholder engagement initiatives.

The project successfully established a model for integrated sustainable forest management in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Key outcomes include the development of three long-term management plans (2017–2036 Master Plan, 2017–2026 Action Plan, and 2020–2029 Multi-functional Plan), providing scientific guidance for forest ecosystem management in Pu’er. These plans aim to increase forest coverage, boost timber stock and enhance ecological and economic benefits.

Demonstration plots for young-to-middle-aged forests (120 ha of Pinus kesiya and Betula alnoides) showed that moderate thinning (20–40%) and "Large Diameter Target Tree Management" significantly improved tree growth and stand volume. Enrichment planting with native species increased biodiversity, creating mixed, multi-layered forests.

The efficient resin production demonstration (30 ha) optimized practices, recommending 40% tapping intensity and 4-day intervals, balancing yield and tree health. A technical manual was developed to standardize sustainable resin collection.

Integrated secondary forest management (50 ha) accelerated succession toward native broadleaf forests through selective thinning and understory planting of medicinal orchids (e.g., Dendrobium), generating economic value while enhancing ecological functions.

A high value tree species garden (5 ha) conserved over 100 subtropical species, including endangered trees like Manglietiastrum sinicum and Nyssa yunnanensis, aiding biodiversity and scientific research.
