  2. Central Annamites

  3. Habitat • Limestone forest / Karst • Evergreen forest • Everwet Pl. Refogia • Broadleaf mixed conifer • Lagoon • River basin

  4. Species

  5. Ecosystem services • 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.)

  6. Developments

  7. Impacts – priority order • Impacts ranked according to: (i) Severity; (ii) Reversibility; (iii) Scale • 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

  8. Other impacts • 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

  9. Sensitivity / Vulnerability Habitat • Summit conifer forest • Steep slopes • Coastal lagoons • Wetlands Species • Montane birds • Turtle and terappins Ecosystem services • Hydropower potential • Water supply (agriculture, urban) • Wetland resources • Forest (uncertain) • Erosion control / Soil conservation

  10. Unknown / Uncertainty / Gaps 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

  11. Impacts and Adapation Central Annamites

  12. Climate change impacts on developments Prioritised Erosion / Landslides / Degradation of infrastructure Forest Fire Plantations expansion / shifts More water storage scheme Agriculture productivity changes Other relevant concerns Flood Pollutions Sedimentation Changes of National Strategies Increase of Protected Areas

  13. Combined impacts on biodiversity / NR Climate Change Impacts Developments Drought Storm events Water storage Logging Farming Roads Fire Flood Habitat loss Biodiversity reduction Changes in aquatic ecology Soil erosion Slope instability Sedimentation

  14. Adaptation options Priority Protected areas enhancement (i) Terrestrial (ii) Wetlands and (iii) Lagoons Smart Infrastructure Planning Integrated Water Resources Management Landscape restoration / reforestation Climate-tolerant agriculture (community-based) Effective use of local knowledge Additional REDD and REDD+ Biodiversity planning Improvement of Forest Fire Control System (community-based) Invasive species control NTFP-based livelihoods development

  15. Capacity / Institutional Needs (1) • 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

  16. Capacity / Institutional Needs (2) • 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
