Project has been temporarily abandoned/halted, since parts of the concession are located in areas that are “sensitive to the national security and defense” (http://www.vir.com.vn/forest-projects-facing-the-axe.html). In Que Phong district, the company only planted about 1/3 of the leased land, then stopped, neglected until now. Plants are not cared for and protected, so the survival rate is very low. According to a recent report by the People's Committee of Que Phong district, InnovGreen Co., Ltd. has only planted 294 hectares and from 2011-2019 until now has not planted any more trees. see: https://thanhnien.vn/du-an-trong-rung-cua-innovgreen-hien-ra-sao-post852725.html On March 5, 2019, H.Que Phong People's Committee issued a written report on the results of reviewing projects in the area behind schedule, including the project of InnovGreen Nghe An Company.

In Huoi May village, people are sandwiched between the Pu Hoat nature reserve and the land of InnovGreen. “After InnovGreen implemented the project, people were not allowed to let their buffaloes and cows roam freely, so it became more and more difficult for them. The commune has requested many times to recover the land and return it to the people, but it has not been accepted. In Nam Nhoong commune, 80 households of Na Khich and Pu Lau villages are also "hungry" for forest land, while the land allocated to InnovGreen Nghe An Company for the past 10 years has not yielded any results. In Pu Lau village, after being allocated land, InnovGreen Nghe An Company was allowed to plant acacia, but as noted by the reporter, this area is now mainly shrubs, only a few scattered acacia trees remain. see: https://thanhnien.vn/du-an-trong-rung-cua-innovgreen-hien-ra-sao-post852725.html
