Bình Phước uses payment scheme to help protect forests
The policy of payments for forest environmental services in Bình Phước Province has helped protect and develop forests, and improve the livelihoods of forest protecting households.

Forest protection households also have additional income from harvesting products such as honey, mushroom and other forest resources.
