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.
- The forces that directly protect the forest resources is spread out over the entire area of the park, including: specialized forest protection forces (at the headquarters of the park) and 14 forest protection stations and 22 forest protection checking points. Each forest protection station or team is assigned to each specific area, regularly conduct patrols in the forest with the coordination of the police, border guards and local authorities to promptly prevent forest encroachment. In addition, the park has cooperated with local collaborators for forest management and protection in the buffer zone communes.
- The Management Board will coordinate with local authorities in the buffer zone to develop commitments to protect special-use forests in accordance with current law, in the direction of clearly defining the responsibilities of the village community and local authorities in forest protection activity.
- Carrying out communication task to raise people’s awareness about cooperation and compliance with the regulations of the park on forest management and protection, forest fire prevention and fighting (FFPF), environmental protection and sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
- Demarcating boundary and marking up boundary markers. Until now, the park has almost completed the boundary demarcation and markers marking with a total of 330 landmarks.
- Building an information system in the park with 30 boards of rules and regulations on special-use forest protection, setting up hundreds of signs for banning fire, banning animal hunting, grazing and deforestation. The Park already constructed 27 km road for forest patrol and forest fire prevention and fighting.
- Contracting with local villages and communities for forest management and protection (16,391 ha), in order to increase the participation of local people in preventing acts of forest encroachment in a timely manner and the management and protection of forest resources

| The Park located in Indochina fork with convenient traffic systems.Fauna and flora species with high conservation values, diverse forest ecosystems and landscapes that are advantages for ecotourism development.Ethnic diversity, diverse traditional culture and many historical places. | Lack of human resources in managing and developing tourism.Staff’s skill and capacity are still limited in tourist activity Poor tourism infrastructure.Tourism products and types are not well defined and developed.Tourist promotion has not been focused.Low budget for tourist development.There has been no investor for tourist development.Some tourist attractions are difficult to reach.Socio-cultural identity of ethnic minority groups is threatened and being lost due to urbanization and modernization |
| Opportunity | Threat |
| Central and local policies promote tourist developmentKon Tum province is implementing cultural conservation projects to preserve the typical cultural values of each ethnic group (craft villages and traditional musical instruments)Ecotourism and community-based tourism become popular and attractive for both domestic and foreign tourists. | Environmental pollution from tourism activityIf not well planned and managed, tourism activity will impact negatively on habitat and biodiversity (due to constructions, forest fires, noises) |
SWOT analysis for biodiversity conservation in Chu Mom Ray National Park is described below.
| Strength | Weakness |
| There are many fauna and flora species with high conservation values, diverse forest habitat and ecosystems.Bordering with Virachey National Park (Cambodia) is good condition for transboundary biodiversity conservation. | Lack of human resources for forest protection and biodiversity conservation.Staff’s knowledge and capacity are still limited in conducting biodiversity conservation activity.Lack of modern and effective tools for forest patrol and biodiversity monitoring (e.g., drone, camera trap, GIS tools)Complex and difficult working condition could reduce the effectiveness of forest protection and biodiversity conservation.Study/document on biodiversity in the Park is still limited. Thus, biodiversity monitoring and evaluation are not well implemented.Not well connect and collaborate with both domestic and international organizations in studying and preserving biodiversity. |
| Opportunity | Threat |
| Biodiversity conservation is an increasing concern at global and local scales, providing great opportunities for collaboration research/project on biodiversity in the Park | Anthropogenic disturbance and habitat loss (e.g., forest fires, forest encroachment, overexploitation, constructions).Natural disturbance (forest fires).Two large roads (DT674 and 14C) cross over the Park could affect biodiversity conservation.Environmental pollution and negative impacts from tourism development on biodiversity conservation. |
SWOT analysis for livelihood development in Chu Mom Ray National Park is described below.
| Strength | Weakness |
