Biodiversity Conservation Corridors
Posted on February, 01 2008
The economy and the environment are mutually dependent. Greater Mekong Subregion countries are investing US $31 billion into their peoples’ economic future. How will they secure a sustainable return on this investment?
Biodiversity conservation corridors (BCI) are uninterrupted areas of forest and other habitats rich in biodiversity that link protected areas. BCI works to restore these corridors to maintain biodiversity and the services these healthy natural habitats provide to people and the economy.
