Management history
There is very little information available about My Bang proposed cultural and historical site. According to MARD (1997), the establishment of a 3,403 ha cultural and historical site has been proposed, presumably by either Tuyen Quang Provincial People's Committee or the Ministry of Culture and Information. According to Tuyen Quang Provincial FPD (in litt. 2000), an investment plan has not been prepared for the site, a management board has not been formed, and the site is currently under the management of Tuyen Quang Provincial DARD. Moreover, My Bang is not included on a list of Special-use Forests to be established by the year 2010, prepared by the FPD of MARD (FPD 2003).
Topography and hydrology
My Bang proposed cultural and historical site is located in My Bang commune, Yen Son district. The topography of the proposed cultural and historical site is characterised by limestone karst. Streams originating at the site flow into the Chay river, a tributary of the Lo river, which joins the Red River at Viet Tri town.
Biodiversity values
Remote sensing data indicate that My Bang proposed cultural and historical site is primarily under agricultural land uses. Consequently, the site can be expected to have few biodiversity values, although an assessment of the biodiversity values of the site has not yet been carried out.
Conservation issues
No information.
Other documented values
My Bang was proposed as a cultural and historical site because of its historical importance (MARD 1997), although the nature of this historical importance is not known.
