Executive Summary The Rapid Participatory Biodiversity Assessment was conducted in five districts in Savanakhet and Salavan Provinces, Lao PDR between October and November 2007. The assessment is meant to be used to inform the upcoming Environmental and Social Impact Assessment process (to be completed by Salwood Asia Pacific Pty Ltd.) and to guide planning, management and monitoring decisions for the proposed Stora Enso Eucalypt Plantation. This assessment provides information, analysis and recommendations from an independent third party. It provides information about both potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed plantation collected using scientific processes. It also gives recommendations for avoiding and/or mitigating these impacts. It focuses particularly on the proposed plantation’s potential threats to biodiversity, which include increased pressure on forest and wildlife resources, degradation of aquatic habitats and establishment and spread of invasive alien species. It comes to the conclusion that minimizing adverse impacts on biodiversity requires a transparent and inclusive process that recognizes the interdependencies between different components of the mosaic landscapes and the diversity of local peoples. It also suggests that the project could bring significant benefits to local peoples. These benefits should be planned, implemented and monitored within the aforementioned mosaic framework as well. Together, his RPBA and the broader Stora Enso ESIA provide a forum for multi-stakeholder engagement to explore ways of strengthening governance in the plantation sector and demonstrating how a multi-stakeholder approach can lead to equitable and sustainable growth within this rapidly expanding sector in Lao PDR. Figure ES.1 Mosaic landscape and linkages between natural and human systems in study area The key message of the report is summarized by figure ES.1. With particular regard to the linkages between natural and human systems, the project should recognize the tradeoffs between utilization of lower conservation land, the potential direct impacts on livelihoods and the potential indirect impacts i
