Descripción
Freshwater wetlands in Lao People’s Democratic Republic are regionally and globally highly vulnerable to development pressures, land use encroachment and excessive natural resource exploitation, becoming most valuable under climate change impact, as they are disappearing quickly and are rated as one of the most highly threatened natural ecosystems. By addressing critical capacity gaps in knowledge, planning, governance and on-ground implementation to strengthen climate resilience of the wetlands and dependent communities, the project was designed to contributed to climate risk and resilient wetlands management. It assisted livelihoods diversification and increased food security and incomes while reducing climate and natural disaster risks and the impacts of environmental, ecological and natural resource over-use.
