1. PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
1.1.

Overall purpose of the project

In order to realize the NEF’s fundamental goal of nature conservation in developing
countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, this project aims at deepening ourscientific knowledge of natural ecosystem, biodiversity in particular, and at contributing
to nature conservation and sustainable development policies in Vietnam, one of thecountries where the NEF has worked successfully since its foundation in 1989. Morespecifically, targeting an environmentally valuable but vulnerable limestone (karst) zone
in the northern part of Vietnam (mainly, four provinces, i.e., Tuyen Quang, Bac Kan, Cao
Bang, and Ha Giang), this project focuses on elucidation of the facts and causes ofenvironmental degradation in recent days due primarily to economic development
represented by land use/land cover changes and search for practical solution or
mitigation. This project also aims to contribute to enhancement of young scientists’research capabilities, for the purpose of attaining another fundamental goal of the NEF.
1.2.

Specific purposes of research groups

The main purpose of this study/ survey is to better understanding of the avifaunaand better conserve of the birds in the Northeasthern provinces of Vietnam as well as in

4. ABSTRACT
The Northeastern region of Viet Nam contains a richness of ecosystems with limestones/
karst alternate with earth mountains and the reivers, lakes and streams which create
different important habitats for many animal species include birds.
The protected area system (or Special Use Forests) in the Northeastern region of Viet
Nam ranges from national park to nature reserve, species and habitat conservation andlandscape protected areas.
We carried out 8 field surveys in Cham Chu protected area (Tuyen Quang
province), Bac Me nature reserve (part of Du Gia-Dong Van Karst Geopark of Ha Giang),Phia Oac-Phia Den national park (Cao Bang), and Nam Xuan Lac habitat and species
conservation area (Bac Kan) from October 2018 to September 2021 aiming at reviewing
the existing information and documents related to the area on birds and natural habitats/landscape of the areas as well as species composition, species status, species distribution,conservation status. We also want to propose biodiversity conservation measures for theregion, to build capacity for Vietnam Ornithology, writing reports, and to publish
scientific papers in journals, workshop proceedings...
We used binoculars, telescopes and camera to observe and to take photos of birds. We
also used mist net to catch the birds, rings (bands) and measure equipment (scale, pliers,
ruler...). During the surveys, we conducted line (transect) surveys as well as point surveys
in the fields. The transects were made through four different types of habitats: i) garden/
settlement, ii) cultivation areas, ii) secondary forest, and iv) primary forest. We also
conducted line surveys from hill base to the peak of the mountain. Species identification/
classification and caparison are based on available books and documents. In comparison,
we mainly find out if the species still sighted, if the species are rare, endangered or
threaten...
Our surveys and inventories have found total 220 species of birds belong to 56 families,
15 orders. Of those, there are 6 species of rare and endangered ones in IUCN Red List. The
results also shown that there are 119 species identified in Cham Chu, 105 species in Bac
Me nature reserves; 141 species found in Phia Oac-Phia Den national park and 92 species
found in Nam Xuan Lac nature reserve. We have also published 4 scientific articles (1 ininternal journal and 2 in national journal, 1 in national workshop proceeding) and trained 3

young scientists during the project life. We have also received the volunteer participationof one Japanese ornithologist during the field survey and bird banding.
During the past years, functional forces and local authorities have put a lot of efforts inthe protection and conservation of the protected area system as well as fauna and floraincluding bird species. Nevertheless, they are still facing many difficulties and challenges
such as the un-suitable policy, mechanism, direct impacts like mining, habitat invasions,Sweden cultivation; the lack and shortage of survey and inventory activities, publicawareness and livelihood raising…
In order to better manage and conserve the protected areas and birds, it is in need to
conduct/ carry out comprehensive activities and plan which include strengthening policy,
management measures, building capacity, law enforcement, scientific survey andinventory, development of database, development of ecotourism as well as raisingawareness and community participation.

5.1.2. General natural characteristics
5.1.2.1. Cham Chu nature reserve
Cham Chu nature reserve was established in 2021 by Decision No. 1536/QĐ-UBND
dated 21/09/2001 of Tuyen Quang People’s Committee.
On 21/7/2008 the Forest Protection Unit of Cham Chu Special Use Forest was establishedunder the Forest Protection Department of Tuyen Quang province by Decision No. 408/QĐUBND.
The acreage of the protected area is 40.297 ha. Coordinates are:
22014’16’’ to 22021’30’’ N;
104053’27’’ to 105014’16’’ E.
Climatology
The Cham Chu area has the characteristics of the Northeastern climate.

7

- Average temperature is 22,90C; The average lowest temperature is 15,50c (January),
and the average highest temperature is 28,20C (July). The temperature fluctuation between thecoldest and warmest months is up to 7,30C.
- Total average annual rainfall is 1661mm. There are 4 months with the aerage rainfall
over 230mm (June, July, August and September) cover up to 65,24% total annual rainfall of
the year. This leads to flooding, soil erosion and damage crops and goods of the local people.
Dry season prolong from October to February of the next year.
Hydrology
Like other areas in the Northeastern region, there is a dense reiver and stream system.
Together with high rainfall (1661mm per year), the river and stream system create a highhumidity in rainy season. Total length of the rivers and streams is 1113,7 km equivalent to 1,9km/km2.
The Lo River flows thru the West and create a natural boundary of the protected area. In
the East, a system of Khuổi Guồng river started from Trung Hà commune runs thru Hà Lang,it then joins the Tân Thành and Phúc Ninh rivers in the Southwest of the protected area.
Topography: The Cham Chu protected area covers entire Cham Chu Mountain with
the Cham Chu peak up to 1.587 m asl.
5.1.2.2. Bac Me nature reserve
The Bac Me nature reserve was first established in 1994 by the People’s Committee(PPC) of Ha Giang province in Decision No. 143/QĐ-UB dated 22/4 / 1994 with total acreageof 27.800 ha, located within 5 communes: Lạc Nông, Minh Ngọc, Yên Cường, Phiêng Luông
and Thượng Tân of Bac Me district, Ha Giang province.
Nevertheless, in 2013, the PPC revised and decided to limit its territory down to 9.016,3
ha by Decision No. 1981/QĐ-UBND dated 19/ 9/2013 located within 3 communes: Minh
Ngoc, Lac Nong and Thuong Tan of Bac Me district.
In 2014, the PPC decided to merge Bac Me protected area into Du Gia national park by
Decision No. 829/QĐ-UBND dated 29/04/2014 of the PPC of Ha Giang under the managementof Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The Bac Me Nature Reserve is 31km East from Ha Giang city and coordinated by:
22038’59” – 22045’47” N
105007’40” – 105016’35” E.
Climatology
According to Ha Giang Department of Agriculture and Rural Developmet (2016). The
Bac Me nature reserve located within the seasonal tropical climate with windy and cold inwinter, rain in summer and dry from October to January next year.

8Average air temparature is 22.70C, monthy average highest temparature is 27.80C,
average lowest temparature is 15.40C. The fluctuation of air temparature between highest andlowest months is 12.40C. In summer, the area is influenced by the southeast wind with warm
wheather, dry which prolongs 4-5 months. Winter started in December and ended in Marchannually, and influenced by seasonal northeast wind.
Rainfall is rather high in the region of Ha Giang. Total rainfall annually is 2,430.1mm.
Rainy season started in April and ended in November which make up to 93.48% of the total
annual raifall. During the year, three months which have the highest raifall are June, July andAugust with flood, soild erosion consequently.
Moisture is rather high. Annual average relative humidity is from 81 - 86%. The
highest relative humidity is fall in January, July, August and December. The dryest months
are April and May.
Hydrology
The Gam Reiver system is the only one that flow from Cao Bang thru Lac Nong, Minh
Ngoc, Thuong Tan communes and run into Na Hang reservoir. This system is the main
waterbody that influence the hydrology of the region. In addition, there are also tributaries/
treams that run from limestone valeys and ditches to Gam River.
In general, most of the streams is narrow, steep with many water falls. Water flow isfluctuated by seasons. There is more water in rainy season with very high velocity, and very
often cause flooding and bank erosion.
5.1.2.3. Phia Oac-Phia Den

Phia Oac-Phia Den national park was established in 2018. The park is locatedwithin the administrative of 5 communes and town of Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bangprovince. They are Thanh Cong, Quang Thanh, Phan Thanh, Hung Dao and Tinh Tuc
town. The coordinates are:
220 31' 44" to 220 39' 41" N;
1050 49' 53" to 1050 56' 24" E.
The topography of Phia Oac-Phia Den national park is rather slope with soil mountains andlimestones mixed together. It is higher up from east to west and from south to north.
The mountains with average height of ≥700m, cover about 90% of the total natural acreage
with the highest peak named Phia Oắc (1.931 m).
Low hills and mountains (<700m asl), cover about 7% of the total natural acreage of thenational park.
Valleys and lowlands cover an area of about 3% of the total natural acreage.
Climatology
The climate of the area is made up by inland high mountain characters, and devided into
two climatic sub-zones. The upper mountain zone is dominated by subtropical climate, the9lower zone is characterized by seasonal tropical climate. There are two distinguished seasons
every year:- Rainy season start from April to October, which make up to 85,4% of the total annual
rainfall, and concentrated in July and August. The average annual rainfall is1.592 mm; highest
is 1.736 mm; and lowest is 1.466 mm.
- Dry season is from November to March next year. This season is very often influenced
by winter seasonal wind and cold. The temperate goes down, less rainfall, and fogy.
- The annual average air temperature is 180C; the absolute temperature happened from
May to September, and range from 24.50 – 26.90 C, sometimes upto 340 C; the absolutetemperature occurred from November to February of the coming year with temperature - 20C- 50C.
- The average relative humidity is 84.3%, July and August are very humid (> 87%), thelowest is December (80.5%).
- In addition, in the cases of low air temperature, there was frost and snow at Phia Oắc
peak and Colea pass.
Hydrology
The Phia Oắc - Phia Đén is the start and catchment of reivers like: Hiến, Năng, and ThểDục and other stream systems. The average density of the rivers is 2km/ 1 km2. The rivers andstreams flow with water yearround.
5.1.2.4. Nam Xua Lac nature reserve

Nam Xuân Lạc species and habitat conservation area was established in 2004 by
Decision No. 342/QĐ-UB dated 17/3/2004 with total natural area of 1,788 ha lies within
Nà Dạ and Bản Khang hamlets of Xuân Lạc commune, Chợ Đồn district, Bắc Kạn
province.
Its coordinates are: từ 22o17’-22o19’; 120 45' - 130 10' N; and 105o28’-105o33’ E.
Topography
The topography of Nam Xuan Lac is rather complicated, highly separated, anddominated by northern Vietnam limestones/ karsts. Its elevation ranges from 400 m to
800 m asl with the highest peak (Tam Sao) of 1,159 m asl.
Climatology
Like other protected areas in the region, the species and habitat conservation area
is located within the seasonal monsoon zone. There are two distinguished seasons: wet

10

(rain) and dry. Rainy season is from April to October, and dry season is from October
to March of the coming year.
The average temperature is from 20-22oC. The highest absolute air temperature
is 30oC, and lowest absolute temperature is 4oC. Average temperature in winter is 11oC,
and in summer is 25oC.
Rainfall: average annual rainfall is from 1,153 – 1,528 mm, and concentrated inJune and July with the highest monthly rainfall is upto 320 mm. Rainfall in dry season
is less than 60 mm/month.
Humidity is about 75 - 82%. The highest humidity is 88% (in July).
Hydrology
There is one main stream started from Sơn Phú commune of Na Hang districtflows to northwest direction thru Nà Dạ, Bản Eng, Bản Tưn hamlets of Nam Xuan Lac
commune and then reach Ba Be Lake with a total length of about 9 km. In addition,
there are also streams and rivulets (brook) start from the peak run into Ta Han stream.
There are also underground karst brooks made from weathered.

5.2. Overview of biodiversity study history in the target areas
The study of the avifauna of East Tonkin, Vietnam had been started since 1970 when Vo
Quy investigated some places in Bac Kan province. However, these surveys have been
undertaken with the small scale and separated. There were no systematically surveys on
avifauna have been carried out in neither Cham Chu, Bac Me, Phia Oac-Phia Den nor Nam
Xuan Lac.
The first notable list of birds was come from Ba Be National Park which had been madeby experts from Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR) in 1990. That list
included 111 bird species belonging to 17 orders and 40 families. Currently, two of thosespecies are not record for Ba Be National Park including Great Cormorant (Pharacrocorax
carbo) and Collared Crow (Corvus torquatus) [IEBR, 1990].
December 1994, Frontier Vietnam Programme and Forestry University of Vietnam havecarried out the survey and evaluated the conservation importance of Ba Be National Park. This
report had reviewed all of the 111 bird species which were recorded in the last survey,
following this, none of them were listed in the IUCN 1994 Red List, however, six species were11

recorded in Vietnam Red Data Book (Fauna volume, 1992) as Crested Kingfisher (Megaceryle
lugubris), Ruddy Kingfisher (Halcyon coromanda), Long-tailed Broadbill (Psarisomus
dalhousiae), Eared Pitta (Pitta phayrei), Ratchet-tailed Treepie (Temnurus temnurus) andGreat Hornbill (Buceros bicornis). Moreover, ten of those species have recorded with new
distribution ranges, especially; some of these species have restricted distribution range in
Indochina and Vietnam such as Ratchet-tailed Treepie, White-winged Magpie (Urocissa
whiteheadi). Beside that, Red-vented Barbet (Megalaima lagrandieri) is an endemic species
for Indochina. The report has also evaluated the species composition and concluded that there
were 62 rare species, 27 fairy rare, 16 common and 6 species very common [Neville Kemp etal, 1994].
October 1996, Frontier Vietnam Programme, IEBR and Vietnam National University,
Hanoi have undertaken the survey in Na Hang nature reserve, Tuyen Quang province, thissurvey was mostly focused in Ban Bung sub-sector. A total of 171 bird species were recorded
including 13 threatened and rare species such as: Red-collared Woodpecker (Picus rabieri),
Pied Falconet (Microhierax melanoleucos), Yellow-vented Green Pigeon (Treron seimundi),
Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus tickelli), Blue-rumped Pitta (Pitta sorror), Bar-bellied Pitta (P.
elliotti), Grey Laughingthrush (Garrulax maesi), Black-breasted Thrush (Turdus dissimilis),
Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler (Xiphirhynchus superciliaris), Rufous-throated Fulvetta(Alcippe rufogularis), Greater Rufous-headed Parrotbill (Paradoxornis ruficeps), Fujian
Nitava (Niltava davidi) and White-winged Magpie. The survey had also recorded four othernational threatened species as Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera), Long-tailed Broadbill,
Eared Pitta and Ratchet-tailed Treepie and had evaluated the species abundant of the 171
recorded species. Following the evaluation, there were 58 rare, 35 fairly rare, 31 occasionally,
35 common and 12 very common species [Frontier, IEBR and Hanoi National University,
1996].
December 1996, as the part of Vietnam Forest Research Programme, Frontier and IEBR
have carried out the biodiversity survey at Ba Be National Park. A total of 189 species wererecorded, comparing with the last surveys, there were 25 other species not recorded during thissurvey, that mean the total number recorded species in Ba Be National Park stand at 214 after
this survey. The survey had extended the elevation ranges for 13 species and added the new
distribution range of three other species for Checklist of the Bird of Vietnam (1995). The
survey also recorded two national threatened species which listed in Vietnam Red Data Book
(1992) which are Long-tailed Broadbill, Crested Kingfish and other 8 species listed in the Red
List of IUCN (1994) under the category as Near-threatened [Mike Hill et al, 1997].
However, in the investment plan to established Ba Be National Park, only 140 species
were recorded and also mentioned some threatened species such as Great Hornbill, Brown
Hornbill, Long-tailed Broadbill, Collared Crow and Grey Laughingthrush [Anon, 1997].

In 2000, as part of the project “Expanding the Protected Areas Network in Vietnam forthe 21st Century” funded by European Union, Birdlife International Vietnam Programme andForest Inventory and Planning Institute (FIPI) have commenced the rapid biodiversity survey
at some sites in Bac Kan and Cao Bang provinces including Kim Hy nature reserve, Na Ri
district, Bac Kan province, Thang Hen area, Tra Linh district, Cao Bang province, Trung
Khanh nature reserve, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang province and Phia Oac mountain,
Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province. Due to the rapid field survey and mostly focused on
evaluation of the forest cover, the list of birds recorded was limited (08 species in Kim Hy, 40
species in Thang Hen, 10 species in Trung Khanh and 32 species in Pia Oac) [Tordoff et al,2000].
Between March and June 2000, American Museum of Nature History and Institute of
Ecology and Biological Resources had conducted the ornithological surveys at the forest sitesof Tay Con Linh Mountain and surrounding areas of Ha Giang province. A total of 146 bird
species were recorded, including Beautiful Nuthatch (Sitta formose) (Vulnerable), Short-tailed
Scimitar Babbler (now called Indochinese Wren Babbler) (Jabouillea danjoui) (Nearthreatened), the first record for Vietnam of Yellow-vented Warbler Phylloscopus cantator and
16 additional species previously unrecorded in East Tonkin [C.J. Vogelet al, 2003].
Beginning of 2001, as part of the project “Creating Protected Areas for Resource
Conservation using landscape Ecology” (PARC), a series of surveys have carried out in Ba Be
National Park and surrounding areas with the large scale, cover all the defined conservation
importance sites. During April and May 2001, Birdlife International Vietnam Programme and
IEBR surveyed some areas arounding Ba Be National Park included Dong Phuc, Ban ThiXuan Lac and Sinh Long areas. A total of 198 species have been recorded including 139
species recorded in Dong Phuc area, 156 species in Ban Thi-Xuan Lac and 149 species in SinhLong area. Among those species, there were only one globally threatened species recorded as
White-eared Night Heron (Gorsachius magnificus) (EN), White-eared Night Heron is a
restricted range species for southeastern China. The survey also recorded some national
threatened species including Eared Pitta, Long-tailed Broadbill, Bar-bellied Pitta, Grey
Laughingthrush, Ratchet-tailed Treepie… [Le Trong Trai et al, 2001].
In May 2002, Birdlife International in Indochina and IEBR had conducteda rapid fieldsurvey the forest areas of Na Chi commune - Xin Man district and Du Gia Nature Reserve of
Yen Minh districts, Ha Giang Province. The results are the out put of the Danida-funded project“Improved conservation planning through institutional strengthening in Cambodia, Laos andVietnam”. A total of 107 bird species were recorded including some threatened and rare species
such as Beautiful Nuthatch, Grey Laughingthrush (Garrulax maesi) and a range extension for
East Tonkin of Brown-cheeked Fulvetta (Alcippe poioicephala) [Le Manh Hung et al, 2002].

June 2002, Birdlife International in Indochina, IEBR and Vietnam Russian TropicalCenter have undertaken the second survey, focused to Ban Lam and Khau Tinh areas, Tuyen
Quang province. However, due to the weather condition, the survey just undertook in 48 hours,
59 species were recorded included one globally near-threatened species as Blyth’s Kingfisher(Alcedo Hercules), this was the only recorded for the species in Ba Be/Na Hang areas. Thissurvey also recorded two species listed in Vietnam Red Data Book including Long-tailed
Broadbill and Ratchet-tailed Treepie [Nguyen Duc Tu et al, 2002].
During 2000-2002, Birdlife International in Indochina and IEBR have defined to build
up the network of “Important Bird Areas” (IBA) in Vietnam. A total of 63 areas were qualified
as an Important Bird Areas in Vietnam. It is special that, three areas were qualified as an IBA
within Ba Be/ Na Hang conservation complex including Ban Thi-Xuan Lac, Sinh Long and
Ban Bung [Tordoff et al, 2002].
From October to November 2002, as part of the PARC project, Birdlife International in
Indochina and Vietnam Russian Tropical Center have continuously carried out the third
biodiversity survey in some defined areas within Na Hang nature reserve and Ba Be National
Park as Nam Trang, Pac Ban and Dau Dang. A total of 173 bird species were recorded included
137 species in Nam Trang, 81 species in Pac Ban and 80 species in Dau Dang area. In thoserecorded species, there was one globally threatened recorded as Wood Snipe (Gallinago
nemoricola) and two other globally near-threatened species: Great Hornbill and Brown
Hornbill. The survey has recorded 20 new species for Na Hang nature reserve and 11 new
species for Ba Be National Park, increased the total recorded species in Ba Be/ Na Hang
conservation complex up to 240 species [PARC Ba Be/Na Hang, 2003].
In 2003, at the national workshop on Ba Be National Park and Na Hang nature reserve,
Nguyen Cu had summarized the avifauna of Ba Be/ Na Hang conservation complex with 334
bird species belonging to 13 order and 39 families, account for more than 40% comparing withthe total number recorded in Vietnam. Following the author, Ba Be/ Na Hang conservation
complex contained 9 sub-species, which are endemic for Vietnam and 39 other national andglobally threatened species [Nguyen Cu, 2003].
During May and June 2003, Birdlife International in Indochina, IEBR and Vietnam
Russian Tropical Center have conducted the fourth survey in some sites within Ba Be National
Park and Na Hang nature reserve. Two main survey sites were Ban Bung sector and the areas
arounding Ba Be National Park. Due to the survey out of the breeding season, only 70 species
have been recorded in Ba Be and 67 species recorded in Ban Bung sector. Among thosespecies, one was listed in the Threatened Birds of Asia - Chestnut-necklaced Partridge(Arborophila chaltonii) [Nguyen Duc Tu et al, 2003].
November 2003, Bac Kan provincial Forest Protection Department have building up theinvestment plan for establishment of Nam Xuan Lac Species/ Habitat Conservation Area,
14

located in Cho Don district, Bac Kan province. Following the investment plan, 156 species
were defined for the area belonging to 13 order and 33 families. This list of recorded species
was made by Birdlife International in 2001. The most notable species was White-eared Night
Heron, (the globally Endanger species (EN)). Beside that, there were also recorded some othernational threatened species as Long-tailed Broadbill, Grey Laughingthrush. [Bac Kan Forest
Protection Department, 2003].
March 2004, PARC project has published the book “The field guide of mammals, birds,
reptile and amphibian of Ba Be/ Na Hang conservation complex”. The book has included thelist of 331 bird species, 21 of those species are globally and national threatened species [PhamNhat et al, 2004].
April 2004, PARC had finished the final biodiversity report of Ba Be/ Na Hang
conservation complex. The report represented the list of 327 species, which were recorded atfive different sites like Na Hang nature reserve, Ba Be National Park, Dong Phuc, Ban ThiXuan Lac and Sinh Long areas. This report has also evaluated 7 globally threatened species
including Red-collared Woodpecker, Chesnut-necklaced Partridge, Great Hornbill, Brown
Hornbill, Wood Snipe, Grey-headed Fish Eagle (Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus) and White-earedNight Heron [PARC Ba Be/Na Hang, 2004].
In 2006, Fauna and Floral International (FFI) has conducted a rapid avifauna survey atKhau Ca Area of Tung Ba Commune (Vi Xuyen District), Minh Son and Yen Dinh Communes(Bac Me District), Ha Giang province. A total of 99 bird species belonging to 12 order and 23
families were recorded during the field survey. None of these are listed in the IUCN Red list
(2006), only one species listed in Vietnam Red Data Book (2002) is Silver Pheasant (Lophuranycthemera (T)) [Le Manh Hung, 2006].

6. SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION / SOCIOCULTURAL AND HISTORICAL
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INHABITANTS IN THE TARGET AREA
6.1. Brief socio-economic characteristics of the Northern mountainous region
There are 8 ethnic minority groups living in the area. Of them, the Tay and H’mông
are majority ethnic groups which make up most of the population in the region. The rest
are Dao, Kinh, Nùng, and Han. Bố Y and Mường are minor of the total population.
Distribution and custom of the local people in the area: Tày and Kinh usually live in thelower land near road and close to wet rice paddy. H’mông and Dao are very often live in the higher
elevation of the mountains of the communes adjacent to the protected area. The H’mông’s custom
is to live separately, isolated and practice dry rice, mise and Sweden cultivation/ slash and burn.
Their lives depend on natural land and resources of the protected area.

15

The main income of the local people in the region is from cultivation, husbandry andforestry.
6.2. Conservation and sustainable development policy
Lying within the protected area system of the country, the studied areas following theForest Law in 2017 and the related official legislations and decrees like Decree No.
156/2018/NĐ-CP dated 16/11/2018 of the Government, guiding details activities to implement
Forest Law and Decree No. 83/ 2020/NĐ-CP, dated 15/7/2020 to revise and supplement
Decree No. 156/2018/NĐ-CP dated 16/11/2018 of the Government.
As for that, the national parks and nature reserve areas structured with Management
Board, Forest Rangers (including community forest rangers), Forest Guards (by contract), andForest Patrol Teams (from communities). In parallel with this structure, a system of Forest
Guard Stations and Forest Guard Points were also set up to control and protect the importantroutes and access points.
Nevertheless, according to Hoang Van Thang et all. (2021), the management andconservation activities are still facing too many difficulties, challenges and shortages. The
Cham Chu protected area is under the district forest department, the Bac Me protected area, byadministration, has become part of Du Gia – Dong Van Geopark national park, but theorganization have not been completely set up. There was not enough manpower nor financefor the necessary activities. There are no adequate offices (headquarter) for the management
boards, especially in Phia Oac-Phia Den national park.
Recently, all the surveyed areas have no ground boundary demarcation (only on maps).
It leads to many difficulties in control and manage the area from poaching and invasion.
Scientific studies, inventory, surveys for conservation aims are still very limited (oralmost none). There have been very little or no financially support for these works. Main data
is from research institutes or universities from Hanoi or Thai Nguyen ones. In addition, inmany cases, the study results were not handled to the management boards. Even if the data ishanded over, management boards do not have enough or adequate equipment to store or to use
for management and conservation purposes.
The communication, education and participation of the local communities as well as local
authorities in conservation are still limited. In many cases, the main environmental education
activities are propagandas, posters, left leads without a long run program.
The management activities are mainly to stop the poaching or invasion (law enforcement)
onto the protected areas; forest fire control. However, due to the shortage of forest ranger force,lack of awareness, low income of local people, there have been still a number of poaching,hunting activities going on in the region. In addition, the development of livelihood activities
has also put a lot of pressure onto protected area such as lemon and orange cultivation in the16buffer zone of Cham Chu protected area; Sweden cultivation in most protected areas. Mining
in Du Gia national park and Nam Xuan Lac nature reserve, rock excavation in Phia Oac-Phia
Den have also caused great pressures on management and conservation activities as well as on
local communities.
Ecotourism as one of the income means for local communes have not been developed at
the surveyed protected areas.
7. APPROACH AND METHODS
7.1. Approach and Methodology
7.1.1. Materials: The group used binoculars, telescopes and camera to observe and to takephotos of birds. The group also used mist net to catch the birds. We also used rings (bands)
and measure equipment (scale, pliers, ruler...).
7..1.2. Methods:- We conducted line (transect) surveys as well as point surveys in the fields. The transects
were made through four different types of habitats: i) garden/ settlement, ii) cultivation areas,ii) secondary forest, and iv) primary forest. We also conducted line surveys from hill base to
the peak of the mountain and canoeing along the rivers and lakes/ reservoir.

- During the surveys, we used binoculars and telescope to watch birds flying over or sitting
on the trees or on the ground. We also listen to the singing bird and identify species.
- We also used lengthy lenses camera to “shoot” the birds (which is easier for species
identification/ classification).
- We used mist net to catch birds flying crossed the paths/ trails in the forest. Caught birds
then identified, ringed and measures (weight, total length, wings...).
- Species identification/ classification and caparison are based on books which are listed
below. In comparison, we mainly find out if the species still sighted, if the species are rare,endangered or threaten...

8.2. Microenvironmental and ecological characteristics of habitats, fauna/flora andbiodiversity
8.2.1. Brief microenvironmental and ecological characteristics of the specific study sites(Prepared by Groups of Mammal, Bird, Plant, Insects, Soil Invertebrates)
In general, the protected areas covered by tropical forests. With high rainfall and humidity,
the forests and its habitats are heavily influenced by this kind of climate.
Limestones are the main habitats of the region with the elevation range from about 200m asl
up to 1931m asl (Phia Oac peak).
The river and stream systems together with lake and reservoir make up its wetlands andaquatic habitats for many aquatic species as well as water birds.
In many spots of the region, settlements, home gardens and planted forests dominate thehabitats. Dry crop lands (slash and burn cultivation) were expanded in the area. Orange andlemon plantation has led to the pollution of air and waterbodies which caused serious threats
to the animals in general, birds specifically.
8.2.2. Threats and challenges causing the changes of habitat and biodiversity

24Even the conservation has achieved great efforts, nevertheless, the management andconservation there still face too many difficulties as well as challenges (as showed in Table

8.3. Threatened/endangered species
We have identified 6 threatened and endangered species including Red-breasted Parakeet(NT) Pale-throated Wren Babbler (VU), Austen’s Brown Hornbill (VU), Silver Pheasant (T)White-eared Night Heron (EN) and Collared Crow (NT), and Yellow-billed Nuthatch (NT).
Where 1 in Cham Chu, 2 in Bac Me, 4 in Phia Oac-Phia Den and 3 in Nam Xuan Lac (seeTable 8.1).

9. DISCUSSION
Our results are the first comprehensive bird list for the 4 surveyed protected areas. We haveidentified 6 threatened and endangered species including Red-breasted Parakeet (NT) Palethroated Wren Babbler (VU), Austen’s Brown Hornbill (VU), Silver Pheasant (T) Whiteeared Night Heron (EN) and Collared Crow (NT), and Yellow-billed Nuthatch (NT). We
have first recorded the presence distribution of Brown-breasted Bulbul (Pycnonotus
xanthorrhous Anderson, 1869) in Du Gia nationlpark and Nam Xuan Lac nature reserve as
well as Phia Oac-Phia Den national park (Le Manh Hung et al., 2021). We also first sighted
Eurasian Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus (Linaeus, 1758)) in the region (Bac Me nature
reserve), and have also reconfirmed the present of White-eared Night Heron in Nam Xuan
Lac species and habitat conservation area and the adjacent area to Ba Be national park.

26

We have also analysed the threats and challenges of the conservation and management of theprotected areas in the region. Based on this analysis, we have also recommended thecountermeasures for management and conservation of the biodiversity in those protectedareas.
Main countermeasures to conserve each biological group of fauna/flora for the entire
protected area/ region.
1. To develop appropriate policies and mechanisms for the protected areas in the region
to conserve the biodiversity in general, and birds specifically.
2. To strengthen capacity, especially manpower and financial support for the protectedareas in the region. It is recommended that scientific staffs on biological survey andmonitoring, awareness education are essential.
3. To develop and carry out project on boundary identification and demarcation as soon
as possible.
4. To develop and carry out surveys, inventory and monitoring activities, especially forthreaten, rare and endangered species.
5. To develop data base for management and conservation purposes as well as forlivelihood and socio-economic development in the buffer zones.
6. To improve the control environmental pollution agricultural activities such as orange,lemon cultivation (which used a large number of chemical pesticides…), mining,
hunting and poaching…
7. To study and develop ecotourism projects with the participation of communities inorder to provide financial support to management and conservation activities as wellas to improve livelihood of local people in order to decrease pressure onto protectedareas.
8. To improve communication and environmental education aiming at raisingconservation awareness in schools and communities as well as involving them inbiodiversity conservation efforts.
Nevertheless, due to the limitation of the survey time as well as the bad weather and impact
of Covid-19 pandemic, our result is still limited. It is strongly recommended that more
systematic and comprehensive surveys and inventories need to be carried out. More activities
in habitat restoration, public awareness and communication have to be taken to consideration.
More study on threaten and endangered bird species need to be carried out as soon as
possible.
This study can be a good example for the implication of bird conservation in other areas,
especially in the limestone ecosystems of Northwestern Vietnam.

Their works and achievement/ publications---

The research assistants have achieved almost the proposed targets of the project forthe second year. Nevertheless, we are facing difficult in publishing, especially peer
reviewed papers.
Young scientists have put their great efforts in working on the project and learned
from “on job training”.
Both young scientists (Do Nhat Huynh and Hoang Hai Duong) can work on GPS andmapping. Mr. Do Nhat Huynh can now identify birds and do bird banding. They canalso write research reports. Mr. Pham Viet Hung can now handle bird banding
activity.
Mr. Do Nhat Huynh had defended his master thesis with the support of the researchgroup (Certificate is shown in figure below).

-

Mr. Do Nhat Huynh is co-authors of a scientific article entitled Conservation of
Avian fauna in the protected areas in the North-eastern region of Vietnam.

Lesson learnt from the assistant researchers
In the context that BIODIVERSITY continuously to be threatened and tends to decline
due to the pressure of economic and social development and increasingly substantial climatechange. To reduce the rate of degradation of BIODIVERSITY over the next ten years (until2030) and allow the restoration of natural ecosystems in the following years, and to work
towards the vision of the Convention on BIODIVERSITY “living harmonized with nature by2050”, the Strategy for the next phase should focus on mitigating threats to BIODIVERSITYin areas of high BIODIVERSITY, significant wetlands, and landscapes. Critical ecology;
promote methods of sustainable use of biological resources; strengthen practical cooperation
between sectors in exploiting and using ecosystem services to serve the needs of socioeconomic development, national defense, and security; ensure the participation of thecommunity and stakeholders. The prerequisites for the implementation of the Strategy for the
next period are to mobilize the highest levels of government with the political will, full29

awareness of the importance and urgent need today to prevent the loss of BIODIVERSITY
and to live in harmony with nature; reforming incentives, eliminating subsidies harmful to
BIODIVERSITY including economic incentives; reforming economic fields towards
sustainable development and green growth; increase resources for the conservation of
BIODIVERSITY; promote the full and effective participation of local people and sectors ofsociety in decision-making regarding the conservation of BIODIVERSITY and the sustainable
use of ecosystem services, including in priority conservation areas and production landscapes;
BIODIVERSITY is integrated into all planning, plans, and strategies of the fields andcomprehensively applied in strategic environmental assessments and environmental impact
assessments on BIODIVERSITY.
