Underlined: Referred to important species in Everwet pl. refogia
Electricity potential – Hydropower Water supply – irrigation / urban Groundwater conservation EcoTourism Carbon storage Livelihoods safety net – forest/wetland resources NTFPs (medicinal, ornamental) Cultural / Spiritual Services Erosion / landslide / flood control Soil conservation Micro-climate regulation (rainfall, temp.)
DEVELOPMENTS•GMS East West Economic Corridor•Other road construction•Construction of East Truong Son•Gold Mining•Other mining•Rubber/Acacia/Eucalyptus plantations•Hydropower plants
•Population growth / Migration / Swidden•Increased purchasing power•National strategies and plans•Protected area development•Wildlife animal farming
1.Impacts ranked according to: (i) Severity; (ii) Reversibility; (iii) Scale
2.Severity & scale of impacts to biodiversity value Extinction / biodiversity loss Habitat loss Wildlife / timber trade Degradation of waterways (including erosion,
sediment, etc.) Relocation / settlement / population growth
(including loss of traditional knowledge
Fishery (negative at downstream, positive at reservoirs) Payment for Environmental Services Pollutions (air, water, soil) Pressure on traditional livelihoods Increased accessibility to economically valuable species Land price fluctuation Ecotourism development / opportunity Protected areas planning Chemical contamination Infrastructure development Increase subsistence logging and hunting Invasive species Loss of natural restoration areas
Habitat1. Summit conifer forest2. Steep slopes3. Coastal lagoons4. WetlandsSpecies1. Montane birds2. Turtle and terappinsEcosystem services1. Hydropower potential2. Water supply (agriculture, urban)3. Wetland resources4. Forest (uncertain)5. Erosion control / Soil conservation
Little understanding of The Annamites’ ecology Inherent species plasticity Species migration as temp and rainfall changes Seasonal changes of temp and rainfall Seasonal humidity changes If less wet months, everwet forest being
vulnerable
Prioritised Erosion / Landslides / Degradation of
infrastructure Forest Fire Plantations expansion / shifts More water storage scheme Agriculture productivity changesOther relevant concerns Flood Pollutions Sedimentation Changes of National Strategies Increase of Protected Areas

Priority1. Protected areas enhancement (i) Terrestrial (ii)
Wetlands and (iii) Lagoons2. Smart Infrastructure Planning3. Integrated Water Resources Management4. Landscape restoration / reforestation5. Climate-tolerant agriculture (community-based)6. Effective use of local knowledgeAdditional1. REDD and REDD+2. Biodiversity planning3. Improvement of Forest Fire Control System
(community-based)4. Invasive species control5. NTFP-based livelihoods development
Protected Areas Management Capacity building and strengthen human resources PA Unit in the Division of Forestry and Resource
Conservation (DFRC) [in Laos] to be upgraded to Department level
Funding to be diversified (Gov. NGOs, Private sectors) to setup new PAs and meet the need of current Pas
Improvement of Law Enforcement Landscape restoration
Infrastructure Planners consider restoration Awareness raising for planners
Joint monitoring for REDD, Invasive species, Forest Fire, Transboundary Trade and Climate Change indicator species
Awareness raising Community and authority at district / community
level, Participatory planning Facilitate adaptive planning
Research Address uncertainties Improve understanding / interpretation between
Scientist and Policy Makers IWRM – Capacity, concepts, institutional cooperation Transboundary collaboration and cooperation
