Scientists have undertaken a major analysis of the world’s biodiversity and identified more than 800 ecoregions that reclassify the way we view the natural world. From this global inventory, 238 ecoregions have been identified that comprise the most valuable and representative global biodiversity. These priority ecoregions have been labeled as the Global 200. In 1998, the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex (FLMEC) was selected as one of the first locations to initiate an ecoregion based conservation programme. With initial support from WWF-US and USAID, the programme has now been established as one world’s first fully functioning Ecoregion Action Programmes (EAP). In March 2000, over eighty scientists from Cambodia, Lao P.D.R., Vietnam, and many other countries participated in an ambitious and groundbreaking assessment of biological conservation priorities within the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex. The results of this biological assessment have since been published in the report entitled “Towards a Vision for Biodiversity Conservation in the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex”. After the biological assessment and a ‘situation analysis’ to examine the threats and opportunities, WWF decided to focus on two of the Global 200 ecoregions falling within the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex – the Greater Annamites and the Central Indochina Dry Forests. The Greater Annamites comprises the most unique and diverse biodiversity within the FLMEC. The discovery of the saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) by WWF and Vietnamese scientists in 1992 in Vu Quang Nature Reserve drew the world’s attention to the biodiversity associated with this mountain chain. Since that first remarkable discovery, many other new species have been found, including a number of large mammals such as the large-antlered (giant) muntjac (Muntiacus vuquangensis) and the Annamite striped rabbit (Nesolagus timminsi). These discoveries highlight the Greater Annamites as one of the world’s most remarkable and unique ecoregions. In addition to these species totally reliant on successful conservation in the ecoregion, a number of wider-ranging, highly threatened species such as the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), tiger (Panthera tigris) and the world’s most endangered large mammal, the lesser one-horned (Javan) rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) are found in the ecoregion. The Central Truong Son Initiative* is a pilot initiative being developed by WWF’s Greater Annamites EAP, with a view towards establishing the process of working at three scales - ecoregional/national policy, landscape and site. The aim of this fledgling initiative is to create a partnership of a broad range of stakeholders - from local communities to international organisations - working together to secure biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in the Central Truong Son Landscape (CTSL). Following the methodology of the ecoregional approach, the Central Truong Son Initiative is based on coordinated conservation action, designed under a large-scale framework and guided by a long-term vision of success. The approach is based on the recognition that uncoordinated actions at individual sites are neither efficient nor effective at conserving functioning ecological systems or halting the loss of natural resources. In order to be more effective, a more ambitious coordinated effort is required that is developed and designed under an overarching strategy. The need for such a coordinated effort resulted in the establishment of an advisory group comprising 16 government institutions. This unprecedented collaboration will work as a vital support body to the Central Truong Son Initiative in its planning process towards a conservation strategy for the CTSL. In order to develop such a comprehensive, overarching strategy, there is a great deal of information that needs to be assimilated. Through a process of lengthy and detailed consultations, the necessary information has been identified and collected. This series of reports presents that information in a format that is both suitable for informing those involved with the strategy development process, and conducive to those merely interested in the status and issues of the CTSL. * Truong Son is also known as the "Say Phou Louang" in Lao P.D.R., and as the "Annamites" internatinally. The Central Truong Son is one landscape in the ecoregion. iii People, Land and Resources in the Central Truong Son Landscape EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2002, a WWF research team of six people was commissioned to explore a number of key issues related to community-based resource management systems, and to measure to what extent these systems can contribute to a conservation strategy for the Central Truong Son Landscape (CTSL). The key components of the research included: Institutional issues relevant to forest land management and traditional land-use systems; Land management systems; Community and traditional land-use systems; Factors that influence these systems, including immigration and new settlement; Needs and aspirations of the communities in regard to conservation of natural resources in the Central Truong Son Landscape. The first part of this report focuses on both institutional issues and on the current situation of land allocation and land-use in the two focus provinces of Quang Nam and T.T. Hue. It is enriched with analyses of the communities’ responses to land allocation and land-use programs. The second part of the report depicts the historical, cultural and socio-economic situations in relation to natural resource management of the ethnic groups living in the surveyed areas. The last part of the report shows the current situation of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) at the level of the Government of Vietnam (GOV) and at the community level. The needs and aspirations of the local communities involved in CBNRM are explored in the same chapter. Key findings can be summarised as follows: Presently, the Provincial People’s Committess (PPC) and/or the District Peoples’ Communities (DPC) are the legal agencies that are responsible for issuing Red Books. All of the important steps in forest land allocation - such as mapping, land-use planning, transfer of technology, provision of forestry extensions and credits - are carried out by the Provincial Forest Protection Department (PFPD) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD). While agricultural extension activities are widely practiced, forestry extension services are weak in the villages that were surveyed. The provincial and district forest protection units allocate land within the framework of funded projects or programmes. In principle, the Provincial Cadastral Department (PCD) is in charge of land allocation. The PCD is unable to fulfill its duties in forest land allocation due to a low capacity to measure and to map land in difficult terrain; the lack of capacity to deal with high populations of ethnic minority groups; and the lack of funds.

  • The Language Olicy of Minority Languages in Vietnam
    특집 ••• 사라져 가는 언어들 The language olicy of minority languages in Vietnam LY Toan Thang․Instituteof Linguistics,Hanoi-Vietnam 0. Introduction The most important ethno-linguistic feature of Vietnam is that during about four thousands years, throughout the very long historical period of foundation, protection and development of the country, the ethnic groups in Vietnam were living side by side in peaceful harmony and unity, without any ethno-linguistic war between the Viet and minorities, or between the minorities themselves. In this ethno-linguistic aspect the history of Vietnam is the history of interaction of languages following the tendency of convergence and intergration for forming an ethno-linguistic union in Vietnam. That tendency is strengthened in new historical, political, economic and socio-cultural conditions of Vietnam in XX century. Vietnam is a multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual country comprising 54 ethnic groups(ethnicities): 01 majority the Viet(the 특집 ․ 사라져 가는 언어들 ․ 51 Kinh) and 53 minorities, but about 100 minority languages/dialects. A couple of ethno-linguistic communities, such as the Hoa(Chinese) and the Khmer, have alinguistic relationship with China and Cambodge, in which countries Chinese and Khmer are the national languages. The Tay, Nung and Thai have genetic relations with the Choang(Zhung), Thai, Shan in South China, Laos, Thailand and Burma. The Hmong are about 550 thousands in Vietnam, a few millions in China, a few thousands in Thailand and Laos, and even a few hundreds of thousands Hmong people in USA, Australia and France. Since independence in 1945 the language policy in Vietnam has reflected a strategy of preservation, promotion and development of spoken and written languages, including both Vietnamese and minority languages.
