Tran Huu Nghi*, Nguyen Song Tung and Nguyen Quynh Thu

This paper aims to analyse a famous model of community forest conservation and management of ethnic minority (or indigenous) people in central anamite, Viet Nam. These practices of the local community have existed for a long time in the region and were recently adopted by government laws.  However, the customary laws of local community and indigenous knowledge of local people has declined  due to various factors, including changes in society, economy, environment, and perception, due to various factors . Research conducted in A Luoi district, Thua Thien Hue province, through household interviews, group discussions, and field surveys, found that community forest conservation retains religious and human significance.  They often represent some of the last remaining natural forests  due to deforestation by human activities. The research results indicate challenges that conservation of community forestry may face, while giving recommendations derived from communities for sustainable forest development and conservation in the region.
