Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: The Gyobyu reservoir was created in 1940 by damming the Gyobyu Chaung River and is one of the main sources of water for Rangoon. The area is managed by the Forestry Department and is within the Bago Yoma Forest. Logging, extraction of canes and firewood, and burning has degraded much of the forest around the reservoir. Field surveys are needed to obtain adult specimens for taxonomic purposes (comparison with L. laoensis) and to determine the distribution and natural history of this species.
