    Vietnam

    During revolution and national unification, Vietnamese government nationalized agricultural and forest land throughout the country. While agricultural land was de-collectivized in the Doi moi reforms since mid-1980s, the majority of forest and forest land has continued to be managed by state enterprises. For members of Vietnam’s 53 recognized ethnic minority groups, the formation of state-owned forest enterprises (SFEs) has meant the end of customary tenure arrangements, leading to exclusion from traditional lands used for agriculture, hunting, and collection of non-timber forest products.

    indigenous groups and provide for their ongoing operation; the paper starts, therefore, from an
    underlying assumption that indigenous groups have continued relevance to the needs and wishes
    of the people who operate within them. Nevertheless, while it is beyond the scope and purpose of
