- Vietnam (LMB part);

SOURCE DATA SET:
National data sets:
forest function / protected area data from
Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, Vietnam;

SOURCE AGENCY :
Mekong River Commission Secretariat;

GENERATION :
Datset received from Christoph Feldkoetter, FCMP, MRCS;

STATUS:

COMMENTS:
The classification of forest functions / protected areas
depends on national laws and criteria, which are different
in the LMB member countries, and is therefore inhomogeneous;
