• Project description
  For this project, WWF will work with partners, including local communities in the region to help rehabilitate, restore and protect the forest, including 4 protected areas, with two connecting corridors that will allow species to move between the areas. These protected areas provide unique habitat for some of Asia’s most charismatic and rare species, including many only recently discovered by scientists, such as the saola and douc. The partnerships will also help to reduce the many threats the region is facing, by training forest and local administration officials, and promoting sustainable forest management and sustainable livelihood initiatives that increase the income of local communities and businesses. The main objectives are: - reduction of CO2 emissions by 1800000 tons. - Mammal species diversity and numbers in particular for ungulate species show upward trends in the protected areas in the region - The “trans‐border trade of illegally cut timber in Laos and Vietnam will be reduced by 40 % in the project region by end of 2014, through the development of a timber tracking system.
