Abstract
In addition to unique endemics, these forests of eastern Bolikhamxay are also home to several endangered primates including gibbons, douc langurs and leaf monkeys. While we do know that gibbons, doucs and leaf monkeys are present, this area has been little explored biologically so it is therefore uncertain where these species will fall within the IUCN Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered categories.
Objective
Strengthen the management of the Phouchomvoy Provincial Protected Area, extend the Nam National Biodiversity Conservation Area, and enlarge the Protected Area System of Eastern Bolikhamxay Province of Lao PDR.
