Forest destruction issue in Dak Lak remains complicatedTotal forest plantation in the Central Highlands province of Đắk Lắk until the middle of last month reached 824ha, making up only 43 per cent of the yearly plan, according to latest report of the provincial People’s Committee. Many other enterprises had to temporarily suspend their work of forest plantation to identify reasons for the decreasing forest area, Dương said. While the results remained low, the forest destruction issue in the province continued to be complicated, according to the report. Last month alone, the province saw 119 cases of violation of the Law on Forest Protection and Development, an increase by 10 compared with October. Dương said the forestry sector was tackling the issue and determining the responsibility of individuals and organisations.
