Under the National Forestry Planning scheme through 2030, the ministry set to reach a stable national forest cover rate of 42-43%.

It also aims to facilitate the export value of wood and forestry products to reach 25 billion USD by 2030.

The plan focuses on attracting investment in forestry, and promoting the reputation of forested areas, to help investors see each locality’s potential, and join in its development.

It also seeks to protect wild spaces, including forested and non-forested land designated for forest development, and forestry infrastructure projects such as nursery systems, forest product transportation roads, and facilities serving forest protection like guard stations, lookout towers and firebreaks.

Ultimately, the plan is expected to contribute to socio-economic development, environmental protection, conservation of natural resources, biodiversity and climate change response./.
