4 PRINCIPAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NBCA SYSTEM
Biodiversity Values
The flora and fauna have not been fully surveyed
Nam Et has comparatively little dense forest but still ranks high in its importance for
representative coverage mainly due to its size in a geographical sub-unit where few
other NBCAs have been identified.
The Nam Et and its tributaries are reportedly teeming with fish even close to long
existing villages.
Watershed Values
Cultural Values
Recreation & Tourism Values
Principal Threats
• Shifting cultivation

Staffing
Management Structure
An NBCA ‘team’, made up of mixed PAFO and DAFO staff, has its own plans, budgets
and activities – though these must still pass though the PFO and PAFO. Staff are
divided into functional specialisation units according to the key management themes,
and are based in a field headquarters or at field stations in the NBCA.
