Resumen
Descripción
This project supports communities in wetland areas of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic in efforts to reduce pressure on wetlands area, improve management and stewardship and diversify livelihoods. The project outcomes were consistent with national policies and plans, and it was successful in a range of wetland conservation efforts. Evidence-based planning and mainstreaming of climate change adaptation, disaster risk management and wetland conservation has been conducted in regular planning exercises, training of government staff and participating communities. RAMSAR site steering committees have been established. A major threat continues to be encroachment of wetlands for rice cultivation and use of chemical fertilizer and pesticides in rice fields.
