Constructing models of preservation and development for the several
species in community
 Propose two types of model:
+ Forest garden
+ Household garden
 Form a harmonious combination between the purpose for conservation
of biological diversity and the benefit of the people participating in conservation
activities
 Many Species have been selected to be grown in those models.
 In Sapa, we selected 51 species of ethnic medicinal plants, most of
these species has been listed in Vietnam Red Book (1986)
