The area of ​​​​replacement forestation in the 2026 plan is synthesized from many resolutions of the Provincial People's Council and other directive documents. Notably, most of the area comes from the implementation of replacement forestation according to Decision No. 1851/QD-UBND and Decision No. 1852/QD-UBND dated July 10, 2022 of the People's Committee of Binh Phuoc province (old) with 474.83 hectares.

The period for implementing new planting and taking care of replacement forests lasts from 2026 to 2030. The planting will be carried out at Dong Nai Nature and Culture Reserve and the protection forest management boards (QLRPH): Xuan Loc, Long Thanh, Dak Mai, Bu Dang.

Regarding technical solutions, the plan requires the selection of tree species suitable for ecological conditions, including: Sao den, Dau rai, Go do, Giang huong, Trac, Gao vang. The planting density is 833 trees/ha (can be adjusted). In particular, it is necessary to ensure the survival rate of trees ≥85%, strictly follow the technical process so that the planted forest becomes a forest, reaching the survival rate according to regulations.

The Provincial People's Committee directs investors in replacement forest planting to be responsible to the Provincial People's Committee for the progress, quality and results of replacement forest planting.
