Sustainable Livelihoods and Biodiversity in Developing CountriesWP-5. Construction, management andn facilitation of the GIS database LiveDiverse WP5 – VietnamBa Be – Na Hang Complex
Introduction (1 of 2) • Ba Be (Bac Kan) – Na Hang (Tuyen Quang) Complex, Vietnam. • WP5 is implemented by National Institute of Agricultural Planning and Projection (NIAPP). • Dr. Nguyen Van Toan, NIAPP’s vice director (leader) • Mr. Vu Cong Lan (coordinator) • Dr. Nguyen Thanh Xuan (GIS Expert) • Mr. Do Minh Phuong (GIS, Communication Expert) • Dr. Hoang Xuan Phuong (Agro-economist) • Ms. Hoang Bao Cham (Environmentalist) • Mrs. Vuong Thuc Tran (Secretary) • Ms. Nguyen Hong Anh
Introduction (2 of 2) • Ba Be National Park (22°21' – 22°29'N, 105°34' – 105°42'E) • Na Hang Nature Reserve (22°16’-22°31’N, 105°22’-105°29’E)
Objectives • EVIs characterization and analysis. • Analysis of the key factors to ecological vulnerability at various levels. • Analysis of the relative importance of the determinants at various levels. • Analysis of possible strategies to reduce ecological vulnerability. • Construction, management and facilitation of the GIS Database.
Vulnerability Characteristics of a country Climate change Forces of Nature Human use
Vulnerability Mapping The EVI scale is a relative scale of vulnerability ranging from 1 – least vulnerable (most resilient) to 7 – most vulnerable (least resilient).
Data requirement • The EVI by its very essence attempts to summarise a wide variety of environmental vulnerability data for a country. The data needed encompasses a range of environmental factors from: • meteorological data, • sea surface temperature, • geological and geographical information, • biological species and habitat data, • reserves, • human activities such as fishing, mining, pollution, population, legislation etc. • The diverse and wide-ranging nature of these data means that sources are widely dispersed and often require some effort to identify, collect and compile information.
