Biodiversity and Local Perceptions | resources, as well as cheap and expensive products. For example, Macka wood (Lim) is a useful plant for tools and construction materials in Khe Tran but it is also listed in the World Conservation Union’s (IUCN) World List of Threatened Trees, and is more generally known as a valuable commercial timber (Table 15). Local knowledge can be used to better understand conservation priorities for plants and animals. We learned that local people can provide much information on species’ abundance, distribution and other biodiversity parameters. It would also be useful to involve local people more closely in the biodiversity management of the future nature reserve. Their familiarity with the area and their perception of the forest would be a valuable contribution to the conservation of the area. Table 15.

Threats to local forests and biodiversity People in Khe Tran have a long history of living near forests and managing them for their livelihoods. They have accumulated experiences and knowledge on local forests and biodiversity conditions. It is important to understand and acknowledge this wisdom when planning future management activities appropriate for the reserve. When asked about threats to the local forest and biodiversity, informants gave various answers. The diversity of results indicates that the nature of recognized threats is highly related to the informant’s location (lower or upper part of the village) and to individual experience. Timber felling was the main threat identified by villagers (17 of 19 respondents; Table 16). The GoV declared logging forbidden in 2000, following the establishment of an investment plan for Phong Dien Nature Reserve. Even if the reserve status is not yet official (it will be in 2010), the government is already taking action to protect the forests of the future conservation area. Villagers consider that logging may destroy the forest, and it is a sensitive issue because, while the villagers are banned from logging, they have no right to stop outsiders from collecting timber in the area. Villagers have no rights with respect to forest management, and they would like this situation to change (see following section). Forest fire is considered a threat because fire is often used for war wreckage and honey collection or caused by careless cigarette smoking and (in the past) clearing land for agriculture. To collect scrap metal in grasslands people use metal
