Probably the greatest threats to the park are agricultural encroachment, poaching and illegal logging ... Hills adjacent to the park denuded for agriculture   Illegal logging near the Park boundary ... protecting the land by contributing to its value is the only solution. Involving the local people will be vital for bringing this about. Sponsored tree replanting projects include:     Supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), projects include surveying the small population of Javan rhinoceros - a 'flagship activity', widely associated with the park. However, this is only a small part of Cat Tien's story: conservation of the whole forest habitat must be the overall goal. The greater Cat Tien park is home to about 40 IUCN Red List species, and probably protects around 30% of Vietnam's rare species. At a higher level, major strategies for conserving wildlife include:  Conservation of forest genetic resources in Vietnam  Providing 'green corridors' for populations of larger species to interbreed  Increasing awareness of the need for 'environmental services'  Bringing in wealth to the area through genuine 'ecotourism' and other projects that   sustainably stimulate the local economy. Addressing the agricultural needs of the local population, in a sustainable way rather than the use of destructive techniques such as shifting cultivation, will be crucial for maintaining biodiversity in the region. One of the more obvious pressures on the land is agriculture in the surrounding areas and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), supported by a number of International Organisations such as Winrock International and the WWF, strongly encourage sustainable agricultural development. The pressure to grow crops in the area is currently being driven by high commodity prices for crops such as:  cashew  cocoa  coffee (traditional in Viet Nam)  pepper
