Note
The Government of Lao PDR is proud of its achievement in establishing a national system of protected areas of international importance, covering more than 21 percent of the country including the growing number of areas at local level. Yet, still some question the development values of our protected areas. This report clearly shows that, far from being of no value, the extraordinary reservoir of natural resources in our protected areas is critically linked to economic
development at the national, provincial and local levels. To foster these links we need to invest in maintaining and conserving the development benefits which protected areas provide.
