Total land area: 164,500 hectares. 2. Goals and tasks: a) Goals: - To build a system of protection forests in the upstream area in order to help regulate the water flow, reduce erosion and sedimentation of the lake bed, and increase the durability of the Lower Ayun Irrigation Project. - To combine protection duty with economic purposes, with the reorganization of production and the building of new rural life, step by step stabilize and improve the life of the ethnic groups in the area, and put an end to the practice of slash-and-burn farming and wanton cutting of wood. b) Tasks: - To create an unbroken area of protection forests in the upstream area totally devoted to the irrigation project covering 64,068 hectares (Mang Yang district; 55,508 ha; Chu Xe district: 5,837 ha; and Ayun Ba district; 723 ha). - To reorganize production, effect sedentary farming in order to stabilize and develop production, along the line of combining forestry with agriculture, or agriculture with forestry, for 16,798 households with 88,670 inhabitants in the region.
