A study was carried out in the mountainous Western area of NgheAn province, Vietnam, which is a forested area inhabited by ethnic minorities for payment for forest environment services with focus on watershed protection and carbon sequestration services. Remote sensing - GIS methods were used to map forest area for biomass assessment. In addition, the method of determining the level of payment for forest environmental services was used to calculate the Pu Hoat natural reserve. The study shows that there is great potential for the development of forest ecosystem services in the study area, which can contribute significantly to improve the livelihoods of indigenous people besides protecting/enriching forest capital. A number of practical solutions to improve the good implementation of forest environmental services have been proposed for the study area, which can also be applied in other areas. This research has highlighted the practical benefits of the Forest (environmental) Payment Service (FPS) and pointed out the shortcomings that need to be addressed.
