PanNature<\/a> has started a Field Research Fellowship Program for senior students, graduate students and fellows. Began in June 2017, the program aims to promote scientific research activities in Hang Kia – Pa Co and Xuan Nha Natural Reserves in order to create a database for conservation interventions.<\/p>\n

Research covers a wide range of topics: biodiversity and forest ecology, silviculture solutions, sustainable management and uses of NTFPs, community-based forest management and protection models, potential impacts threatening forest resources, and sustainable livelihoods linked with natural resources, to name a few.<\/p>\n

In the first phase of the program, three students from Vietnam National University of Forestry, Freiburg University (Germany) and four students from Tay Bac University were assisted by PanNature\u2019s field staff in conducting six research projects. The students were provided with information and materials related to their topics, technical\u00a0 orientation from PanNature\u2019s staff as well as other logistics support such as interview contacts, transport vehicles and a portion of their living costs.<\/p>\n

Students have conducted research on the following topics:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudy basic characteristics of forest structure in the core zone of Xuan Nha Nature Reserve and propose indigenous plant species for forest rehabilitation in the buffer zone of the Reserve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The research aims to classify natural forests in the buffer zone and core zone of Xuan Nha Natural Reserve. By analyzing the structure of the regenerated canopy using indicators of species diversity, it proposes a list of indigenous species that have fared well in the buffer zone, and thereby aid in forest rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u201cResearch on tree biodiversity in elevations of 100-300m in Xuan Nha Nature Reserve\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The research aims to list the tree species at the height of 100-300m in the study area and classify the Endangered Species in 2007 IUCN\u00a0Red List, 2007 Vietnam Red Data Book and the Decree 32. The study\u2019s conclusions are about the characteristics of the timber species distribution in high elevation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The research aims to analyze the structure and characteristics of traditional ecological knowledge on forest resources and forest management of the community in Van Ho district, Son La province. It also identifies the traditional knowledge that people have applied to forest management planning when participating in community forest management, while assessing the effectiveness and relevance of traditional knowledge of local communities in forest management.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The research investigates, samples and describes the use and distribution of some medicinal plants common in remedies. It also provides criteria for the selection of valuable medicinal plants based on indigenous knowledge from of ethnic communities in using medicinal herbs and vegetable species in Xuan Nha commune. It then proposes solutions to preserve and develop NTFPs in the locality.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Some typical results include: identification of two populations of Amentotaxus argotaenia<\/em> species with more than 30 plants within one hectare in Hang Kia \u2013 Pa Co Nature Reserve; the occurrence of Cunninghamia konishii<\/em> species in Na An village, Xuan Nha district; the sighting of four monkeys (three yellow, one black) caught by local people in Pa Cop village, Van Ho commune; and the collection of specimens of 40 tree species in Xuan Nha Nature Reserve. The students also built a 60 square meter nursery with a 20 square meters greenhouse and three beds of nursery containers, conducted vegetative propagation for 150 cuttings of Amentotaxus argotaenia<\/em> species, 60 cuttings of Taxaceae<\/em> species and 85 cuttings of Calocedrus rupestris <\/em>species, and they propagated and transplanted 20 seedlings of Dacrycarpus imbricatus<\/em> and 12 seedlings of Pinus cernua.<\/em><\/p>\n

PanNature’s field facility is located near the center of Van Ho district, with a full computer system, internet, vehicles and accommodations for 6-8 people. The field office is close to Xuan Nha Nature Reserve, Hang Kia – Pa Co Nature Reserve and the community forest areas in the communes of Van Ho district. PanNature continues the second round of the Field Research Fellowship Program from October to December 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
