Abstract: Tropical forest protection is an area fraught with difficulty. Many approaches backfire because they go against the needs of local people who, rather than get actively involved in forest conservation, exploit the resource because they have no vested interest in doing otherwise. To investigate this problem, and to decide what the best protection strategies might be, this study has examined five forest management approaches in the Melaleuca forests of the Mekong River Delta (or Me Kong Delta: MKD).
