The mountain forests of Phin Ngan after a storm.
LISO moved here at the request of Lao Cai province after SPERI’s successful
land allocation programme with the Mong people of Simacai district

Stepped rice paddy and forest in Sung Hoang, Phin Ngan.
Most villagers don’t have official land use rights, cultivating on land
managed by protected forest management boards

LISO first step when coming to a community is to invite everyone to meet.
Here we ask villagers in Sung Hoang to discuss issues and problems they
are facing
![Page 5: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Without villagers participation and agreement, land allocation cannot work.
Sung Hoang villagers ask LISO to facilitate an allocation process for household
and community rights.

LISO trains communities to understand and map the land use in their
commune. With their help villagers draw a cross sectional land use map of
Sai Duan and Sung Duan
![Page 7: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Participation and consultation is the key to conflict resolution – LISO’s
methods rely heavily on community involvement in every step of the forest
land allocation process
![Page 8: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sai Duan villagers explain the rules and management of sacred forest
Research is essential to understand sacred forest worship and how it and other
management methods help ethnic minority communities protect their forests
![Page 9: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most important in the minds of ethnic minority people is the preservation of
sacred forest. Community members complete a map of the sacred forest of
Sai Duan village with accompanying management regulations

Natural forest products are very important for Red Dzao women. Mrs. Chan, a
member of the women’s union and village elder is actively involved in the
allocation process. Here she prepares forest vines for embroidery.

Forest land conflicts are commonly a result of unclear and overlapping
boundaries of current land use
As a first step in the forest land allocation process, villagers map the commune
![Page 12: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The next step is mapping current land use in each village.
This community designed land use map of Sung Hoang village shows
locations of sacred forest and other land uses and ownership

As well as working closely with farmers, LISO has good relationships with local
authorities who have the power to allocate land. Here we are sharing information
in Bat Xat district office on the land and forest situation in Phin Ngan

Finally, at a ceremony in the forest, village representatives receive ‘red books’,
official land use rights over communal managed forest
![Page 15: Red dzao of phin ngan protect community forest](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cad3a8bb61eb52258b466c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
After allocation come management, improving the quality of the forest and
deriving improved incomes. Dzao women cultivating cardamon under
regenerating forest

Rice paddies surrounded by newly allocated communal protected forest in
Sung Hoang. Improved water supply, more NTFPs and secure sacred forest
will result from this allocation process
