**5.2 Reasonable exploitation, pay attention to regeneration protection**

Subjects are medicinal plants distributed in Thai Nguyen province, not in the conservation area in Vietnam. Some specific solutions are proposed as follows:

i.Develop a reasonable mining process

According to the regulations on the exploitation of medicinal plants that grow naturally in Vietnam, the sustainability of resources must be ensured. To fulfill this requirement, each medicinal plant species needs to have a technical extraction process to ensure its ability to regenerate naturally, and at the same time, it does not cause large changes to the population. The content of the mining process includes some notable points as follows:


The extraction procedure needs to be compiled separately for each medicinal plant species, printed into documents, distributed to the people, and at the same time organized training to guide these processes specifically for those who harvest.

ii.*Guide the harvesting process to the community:* Depending on the target and the harvesting area, it is necessary to organize training sessions in the community, so that the technical staff can provide specific instructions on harvesting techniques for some medicinal plants for the citizen. Besides theoretical instruction, it is possible to organize direct instruction for 1-2 certain medicinal plants directly in the field. The purpose of this work is to make people more aware of the need to collect medicinal plants reasonably, to ensure natural regeneration, for the next harvest.
