Central Annamites Landscape
In the heart of Indochina, rising above the coastline of Central Viet Nam, spilling across the border into Southern Laos, exists an intricate ecosystem teeming with extraordinary biodiversity, like nowhere else on Earth.
Landscape description
Vietnam’s remaining primary forests are home to many unique and endangered animal and plant species. From 2001 to 2018, Vietnam lost over 2.6 million hectares of tree cover (-16% decrease in tree cover since 2000). Agricultural expansion threatens primary forests in and around protected areas, destroying crucial wildlife habitats and depriving communities of valuable ecosystem services like clean water and air.

Total area (ha)
3300000 ha
Overall goal
Forests: CAL forests are resilient, benefit biodiversity, enhance ecosystem services, and improve the quality of life for all. Wildlife: Wildlife population declines within CAL PAs, especially those of threatened and endemic species, are halted, extinctions avoided, and populations show signs of recovery.
Expected impacts
(1) Natural forest protection
(2) Mosaic of biodiverse plantations producing more value for communities
(3) Rattan/NTFP production
(4) Agroforestry model
(5) water catchment and river infrastructure
(6) Sustainable ecotourism
Threats
Forests: illegal cutting, lack of law enforcement, infrastructure development, commercial agribusiness, disaggregated planning, lack of clear regulations.
Wildlife: weak formal protection, hunting, weak law enforcement, weak policies, bushmeat consumption, lack of species information, limited habitat range.
Landscape approach
Primary - Plantation landscapes and Sustainable production landscapes Secondary - Species landscapes, Transboundary natural resources Management
Commodities
Timber, bamboo, rattan, rubber
Driver: cooperative plantation management model linked to timber production and processing factories. IKEA providing leadership with other market leading companies.
