Fauna & Flora International is recruiting exciting and challenging national positions to support the implementation of its ‘Community-based management of Natural Resources in the Pu Luong – Ngoc Son – Cuc Phuong Limestone Landscape Project’
Communication and Awareness Officer
Back ground
The Pu Luong – Ngoc Son – Cuc Phuong (Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Ngoc Son – Ngo Luong Nature Reserve and Cuc Phuong National Park) limestone mountain range is a globally important example of karst ecosystems and is the only remaining large area of lowland limestone forest in northern Vietnam. The area is located within the northern Indochina limestone eco-region that is classified as of “acute” importance for the conservation of biodiversity, supporting important large mammal populations, including the last populations of the critically endangered Delacour’s Langur. The area and its biodiversity is threatened by a range of issues including unsustainable and often illegal use of natural resources, spread of agriculture into areas unsuitable for cultivation, and development of infrastructure, industries and tourism. The degradation of the landscape threatens the basis of current livelihoods as well as undermining the potential development of tourism and other sustainable forest-based livelihood developments.
The Pu Luong-Cuc Phuong Conservation Project (PLCP) was set up in late 2002 to protect this area and its endangered wildlife by supporting the integrated conservation and rural development interventions. The PLCP project came to an end in March, 2006.
The “Community-based management of Pu Luong – Ngoc Son – Cuc Phuong Limestone Landscape” project is designed to build on the work of PLCP project in which the community based development and awareness raising initiatives will be the focusing. However, these activities will directly relate to the conservation and development of natural resources. This relation will be achieved through a variety of direct and indirect means such as Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) models, Awareness raising of the inter-relationship between conservation and development, etc.
