SUCCESS STORY: Improving PFES Implementation through Communities of Practice

Vietnam has more than 13 million ha of forest, covering over 40 percent of its land area. The vast forests provide vital ecosystem services including watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and the provision of energy and natural resources. Preserving and restoring forest landscapes is critical to safeguard the livelihoods and well-being of local communities and sustain the countries growing economy.
