Authorities and resident in central Quang Binh Province have voiced concerns over serious deforestation to a natural forest area upstream of the Rao Nan River. Additionally, local authorities struggled to manage the forest because the area was disputed between Quang Son and Van Hoa communes. Quang Son People’s Committee Chairman blamed the issue on an incorrect boundary map that land officials had created in the past. Tran Xuan Hao, Director of Quang Binh Province’s Agricultural-Forestry Design & Re-planning Centre said his office would examine the allocation of Van Hoa Commune forest land.
