Our work in the Greater Annamites Ecoregion

Annamites - A pioneering programme

In 1998, WWF selected the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex (FLMEC) as one of the first places to initiate an ecoregion-based conservation programme.

With initial support from WWF-US and USAID the programme was established as one of the first fully functioning Ecoregion Action Programmes (EAP).

After a biological assessment and a ‘situation analysis’ that examined key threats and opportunities, WWF decided to focus on two ecoregions that form part of the Global 200 ecoregion within the FLMEC - the Greater Annamites and the Central Indochina Dry Forests.
