The project aims to establish sustainable wetland and forest management models in the upper reaches of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). By improving the quality and resilience of the wetland ecosystem, the project seeks to enhance its ecological, economic, and social functions, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Strengthen the conservation and sustainable management of the Tram Chim National Park wetland ecosystem through systematic monitoring and the development of a Ten-Year Management Plan.

Reduce human pressure on the park’s natural resources by providing alternative income-generating opportunities for local communities.

Enhance capacity, knowledge, and awareness among local communities, government officials, and park staff through comprehensive training and education programs.

Development of a wetland area monitoring report.

Formulation of a water quality monitoring and development strategy.

Compilation of a wetland soil monitoring report.

Documentation of rare and endangered flora and fauna.

Regular patrolling of the national park boundary to improve protection.

Construction of a 50-meter bird survey tower for research and monitoring.

Development of a Ten-Year Management Plan for Tram Chim National Park.

Establishment of 50 hectares of lotus plantations and 10 hectares of water lily plantations.

Setup of 300 beekeeping units managed by local households.

Promotion of weaving products as an alternative livelihood for local communities.

Implementation of public awareness campaigns on environmental conservation in and around the park.

Organization of technical training programs on wetland conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Facilitation of international exchanges on wetland conservation and management best practices.

The project successfully developed a forest management plan as part of the overall management plan for Tram Chim National Park, integrating ecological, hydrological, and biodiversity conservation strategies. To support evidence-based decision-making, comprehensive monitoring systems were established, including reports on wetland area conditions, water and soil quality, and the status of rare and endangered species. To reduce human pressure on the park, the project introduced sustainable livelihood options for local communities. 300 beehives were distributed to local households, supporting honey production as a supplementary livelihood. Additionally, a total of 50 hectares of lotus and 10 hectares of water lily plantations will be established in 2025, providing an alternative source of income while maintaining wetland ecosystem functions. The project will also promote traditional weaving as a cultural and economic opportunity, helping diversify local income sources.

Through capacity-building programs, and environmental awareness campaigns, the project enhanced knowledge among national park staff, local governments, and community members on wetland conservation and sustainable resource management. By integrating ecological restoration with socio-economic development, the project will provide a replicable model for wetland conservation in Viet Nam, ensuring the long-term sustainability of Tram Chim National Park while improving the livelihoods of surrounding communities.
