Resumen
Descripción
Most of the terrestrial biodiversity within the Greater Mekong Subregion is contained within forests and although other forest areas are important, protected areas are the mainstay for biodiversity conservation. Habitat destruction and extraction of high-value species are major threats. Ecosystem stability is based on interdependence among constituent species and with biodiversity loss, resilience to change is reduced. Awareness raising, stringent environmental impact assessments, and improved l aw enforcement are required.
