Annex 1.  Operation of Management Board

The Management Board is carrying out activities on the basis of the Sustainable Forest Management Plan (SFMP) for the period of 2021-2030, with the aim at concurrently implementing plans for forest management and protection, and biodiversity conservation, infrastructure development, scientific research, human resource development, education on law and policy and ecotourism development. The SFMP is expected to contribute to enhancing environmental protection and socio-economic development towards sustainable management in the region.

On August 27, 2020, Kon Tum Provincial People’s Committee issued the Decision No. 635/QD-UBND on the reorganization of the Management Board of Chu Mom Ray National Park. Accordingly, the Management Board is a revenue generating public service delivery unit, thus it has a legal status, a seal, a separate account as prescribed by law. 

The Management Board performed its tasks on the basis of the Planning for Conservation and Sustainable Development of Chu Mom Ray National Park until 2020 (Decision No. 747/QD-UBND dated July 25, 2014 approved by Kon Tum Provincial People’s Committee). However, this plan ended in 2020.

The total area managed by ​​Chu Mom Ray National Park is 56,257.2 ha, of which the area of ​​forest and forestry land is 56,249.2 ha. The land of the Park’s headquarters and forest protection stations is 7.93 ha. The management of natural forests is the key task of the park. Over the years, the natural forests of ​​the park have been strictly and effectively protected by the following measures.
