Biodiversity Lao Slide Show

World Bank support in the area of biodiversity involves:

• The establishment and strengthening of protected areas (including activities in buffer zones),
• Sustainable use of biodiversity outside protected areas,
• Eradication of alien species, and
• Biodiversity conservation through improved management and sustainable use of natural resources in the production landscape.

All of these activities have important links to poverty alleviation initiatives. In the future, it is expected that the Bank's activities in support of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity will further emphasize mainstreaming of biodiversity in the production landscape, including agriculture, fisheries, and other rural development activities.

Biodiversity is the common factor that links agriculture, forests and fisheries and provides the raw materials for livelihood, sustenance, trade, medicines, and industrial dvelopment.
