Sao La Nature Reserve

Gave a presentation this morning at the Sao La Nature Reserve office in A Luoi on the preliminary results from the rattan inventory (see Where Are Those Transects II). That's Mr. Ho Van Sao in the image above providing information about how the field crews actually located and sampled the transects. We had a productive discussion on using inventory and growth data to develop a sustainable management plan for rattan in the reserve and a lot of good ideas came up. Stay tuned. Something wonderful - and unprecedented - may be happening here.
