The forest ranger forces also coordinated with functional agencies to handle deforestation in the Bua Lau - Nui Co area, Hoa Binh commune; and conducted inspections to detect the illegal trading and transport of forest products in the locality.

Every year, the forest ranger force advises the city People's Committee in building and implementing plans on forest protection and fire protection and fighting.
