Ramsar site profile : to assess infrastructure and capacity needs for Xe Champhone Wetlands, Champhone and Xonbuly Districts, Savannakhet Province, Lao PDR
2011
The Xe Champhone wetlands in Savannakhet Province is one of two wetlands designated as Ramsar sites upon Lao PDRs accession to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention) in 2010. Initial steps have been taken to set up a Ramsar committee tasked with managing the site. However, to date, the only conservation activities that have occurred at the site to date have been a very small selection of international donor funded projects.
