Abstract
Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam provinces are recognized by the scientists as animportant area for Saola which is an endemic species. However Saola is being on the brinkof extinction as a result of hunting and demands for timber as well as non-timber products.This paper presents some studied results on applying PGIS and Zonation conservationplanning model in researching the distribution and predicting the priority zones of Saolaspecies in Saola landscape that locates along the southern of Thua Thien Hue and thenorthern of Quang Nam landscape frontier. Community mapping results revealed thequantity distribution of Saola, Zonation then indicated the priority zones for Saola. Fromthis finding, the robust patrol routes for conserving this species were identified with thearea of 74845.75ha.Keywords: PGIS, systematic conservation planning, Zonation, Saola species, conservationpriority zones.
