Modern technology enhances forest fire prevention
Dong Thap province has more than 7,740 hectares of forest land. During the dry season, prolonged heat and falling or depleted water levels in canals and ditches heighten the risk of forest fires. In response, forest owners are proactively implementing a range of prevention measures, with a strong focus on applying modern technologies and equipment to monitor and detect fire risks early and from afar.
