2011
This report provides an overview of existing data about the wetlands, including its ecology, biodiversity, socio-economic values, management and threats. The bulk of the information presented in this report was gathered from project reports from key organizations working in the wetlands and surrounding areas over the past decade or so, as well as from documents prepared for the site’s nomination when Lao PDR joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance in 2010.

The IUCN programme in Lao PDR

1998

A checklist for the vascular plants of Lao PDR

2007 Newman, Mark | Ketphanh, Sounthone | Svengsuksa, Bouakhaykhone | Thomas, Philip | Sengdala, Khamphone | Lamxay, Vichith | Armstrong, Kate |

Over 40% of the primary forest in Lao PDR remains but this is under increasing pressure. Floristic diversity is poorly known and botanical work almost non-existent. This checklist is the outcome of a programme aimed at training some 30 Laotians participants in tropical taxonomy through field work and herbarium base work. One of the outputs of this project is this checklist which has more than 4800 species from 232 families.
