Abstract

biodiversity corridors ecological connectivity protected area management community engagement sustainable livelihoods payment for forest environmental services conservation governance central Annamite
This chapter examines how biodiversity corridors can be effectively managed to enhance ecological connectivity while delivering tangible benefits to local communities. Focusing on Vietnam’s Central Annamite Landscape, it explores how corridors serve as critical linkages between protected areas, supporting species movement and resilience in the face of habitat fragmentation and climate change. Drawing on spatial modeling and field research, the chapter highlights the importance of community engagement, equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms, and supportive policy frameworks. It discusses the role of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), Payment for Forest Environmental Services (PFES), and conservation incentives in improving local livelihoods. The chapter offers practical insights into integrating ecological and socioeconomic objectives, proposing governance models that align conservation priorities with the community development goals.
