Lao People's Democratic Republic, Viet Nam
Decreasing Deforestation and Forest Degradation in the Border Area of Central Vietnam and Southern Laos
23-Jun-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | As a result of the growing timber needs of the booming timber industry and Vietnam’s forest protection measures, deforestation is shifting to neighbouring forest‐rich countries, particularly Laos. This cross‐border leakage is a challenge for REDD‐Readiness in Vietnam. While Laos is considered one of the richest southeastern Asian countries in terms of forest resources, it also has one of the highest deforestation rates. Deforestation accounts for approximately 70% of the national GHG emissions.
The objectives of the project are thus to reduce GHG emissions that stem from forest degradation and loss through improved protected areas management for 4 protected areas and two ecological corridors in Southern Laos and Central Vietnam and to address the “leakage” caused by transborder trade of illegally cut timber from Laos to Vietnam through Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade instruments. |

Lao People's Democratic Republic
Improved management of the Nam Kading National Protected Area of Bolikhamxay Province, Lao PDR
19-Oct-2009
|
+more
| abstract: | The Nam Kading National Protected Area is the third largest in Lao PDR at over 1,600 square kilometers, and can likely support viable populations of many medium sized mammals under threat, including at least four Critically Endangered and Endangered primate species. These include the Northern White-cheeked Gibbon, the Southern White-cheeked Gibbon, Red-shanked Douc Langur and one or possibly two Leaf-monkey species in the taxonomically unclear (but clearly highly threatened) Trachypithecus complex. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Strengthen the management of the Nam Kading National Protected Area and enhance the regulation of illegal activities in the Protected Area. |
| area impacted: | Bolikhamxay Province. |

Lao People's Democratic Republic
Strengthening and enlarging the Protected Area System of Bolikhamxay Province of Lao PDR
19-Oct-2009
|
+more
| abstract: | Due to their uniqueness, these evergreen forests are globally irreplaceable and an ecological priority for the Laos national protected area system. Their size and contiguity make them the best chance for the long-term viability of the endemic wildlife. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Reduce illegal hunting and illegal habitat conversion inside the six accessible Protected Areas of Bolikhamxay and the proposed new Protected Area, to raise awareness among local communities, to monitor Protected Area management effectiveness through indicator species population levels and assessments of the levels of habitat conversion. |
| area impacted: | Mixed semi-tropical forests of western Bolikhamxay Province |
