Spotlight on Laos
Article Abstract:
Laos's spectacular new Nakai-Nam Theun National Biodiversity Conservation Area features terrific opportunities but is already threatened by development and exploitation. One of 17 wildlife sanctuaries occupying 10% of the country, it attracts legal and illegal logging, is home to hunters and farmers who use destructive practices, and will soon be the site of a huge dam that will destroy many of its rivers and wetlands. A recent expedition found great varieties of birds and mammals, many of them endangered.
