Sustainability of Community Fish Refuge management (Part IV)

This summary explores strategies for securing sustained support for Community Fish Refuge (CFR) management. Effective approaches include fundraising through pagodas, integrating CFR plans into Commune Investment Plans (CIP), and collaborating with earthwork companies. Raising awareness through educational initiatives emphasizes the importance of CFRs, fostering community involvement in conservation activities such as tree planting. Income generation through water kiosks provides financial resources for CFR management. Additionally, the development of ecotourism offers a promising avenue for long-term funding. These diverse strategies ensure the sustainability of CFRs, contributing to improved natural resource management and community well-being.
