Vietnam National Forestry University. The door to Assoc. Prof. Dr Sam office was always

open whenever I ran into a trouble spot or had a question about my writing. He

consistently allowed this paper to be my own work, but steered me in the right the

direction whenever he thought I needed it.

I would also like to thank the experts who were involved in the validation survey

for this research project: the teacher in Viet Nam forestry university have imparted to us

the knowledge to perform this topic. Thanks Long Sap commune People‟s Commitee -

Moc Chau District- Son La, the Border Post of Long Sap International Border Gate of

Vietnam, the Northwest Science Forest Center, the Forest Proctection Department of Son

La and the healers of Long Sap commune has facilitated to help us complete this thread.

During the topic implementing process, even though I had a lot of effort, because

of time and professional qualifications is limited, and the initial unfamiliarity acquainted

with the actual work, so my research subject inevitable shortcomings. I am looking

forward to receive some comments of teachers for our subject more perfect.
