Laos

With more than a third of economic growth in Laos relying on the country’s natural resources amidst its rapid growth, increased pressure has been placed on the environment. We supported three villages in the Xe Bang Fai district and Khammouane province to help develop sustainable and economically viable wetland management plans. Our support resulted in a regeneration of crucial wetland habitats and aquatic species. One of the supported villages supported was able to use wetland resources to earn money and support small-scale riverbank erosion protection measures.
