HEPA (Human Ecology Practical Area) Farmer Field School (FFS) is a pioneering training dedicated to strengthen indigenous youth. HEPA FFS lies at the heart of the 6 inter-thematic networks action of Mekong Community Network Action for Ecological Trading (MECO-ECOTRA).
Overuse of resources and the lack of a caring attitude towards Human-Nature relationships in many sensitive watershed ecosystems have been the major causes leading to land desertification problems, gradual erosion of social traditions, and the losses of ecological biodiversity.

The program took place in one day, beside times for learning about forest protection and development model from FFS-HEPA, the group along with FFS-HEPA members also participated in the activities of environmental protection that involved cleaning up the area of zone three in HEPA.
This was a short program, but because of the enthusiasm of all participants the results were very effective.
