According to initial verification, the deforested area occurred in Lot 6 and Lot 10, Plot 10, Sub-zone 927 belonging to the forestry area managed by Ia Pier commune. This is the border area between Ia Pier commune, Chu Prong district, Gia Lai province and Ia JLoi commune, Ea Sup district, Dak Lak province. From the scene of the deforestation, it can be seen that the incident took place over a long period of time and continued regularly and continuously.
What is quite surprising is that this forest area is quite large, with a large number of trees, but the Chu Prong District Forest Ranger Department informed that the scene area belongs to agricultural land and land with regenerated trees and mountains, all of which are outside the planning of 3 types of forests. Also according to information from this unit, most of the deforested area belongs to the administrative boundaries of Dak Lak province.
In Gia Lai, Chu Prong district has recently been the focus of serious deforestation cases, mainly taking place in the border commune of Ia Mo. Where were forest owners during these serious deforestation incidents? In the deforestation case at Ia Pier, an additional question is, is the entire forest area mentioned above considered derelict? And when no one manages them, are they flattened like that?
