ICEM led a technical partnership supporting the four Governments of the Lower Mekong Region in a process of comprehensive studies, piloting and consultation.
The Review of Protected Areas and Development examined the growing tensions between economic and conservation objectives in the four countries of the Lower
Mekong River region. It identified the many development benefits flowing from protected areas and the need to reflect them in the plans and budgets of forestry,
agriculture, energy, tourism, fisheries and other key economic sectors. The lessons of more than a decade of protected area management experience in the region
were related to new and innovative approaches elsewhere in the world.
As a result of the Project, eight volumes were published:
Cambodia National Report
Lao PDR National Report
Thailand National Report
Vietnam National Report
Regional Report
Lessons learned in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam
Lessons from global experience
Field Studies in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam
These reports can be downloaded from the ICEM PAD reports page, the
PAD Review website
or ordered by directly by contacting ICEM.
