| The area of forest that was cleared was identified by the Quy Chau Protective Forest Management Board as being to be handed over to the local authorities. However, this is production forest land, containing natural forest, and therefore needs to be protected in its original state. Therefore, the violation by this official is unacceptable and must be dealt with strictly according to the law. The photo shows an area with many trees that Vi Van Thanh cut down and burned.
