EPF extends support to environmental protection
The Environmental Protection Fund has decided to forecast a budget of over 2.5 billion kip to support its environmental protection activities in four target provinces of LuangNamtha, Phongsaly, Oudomxay and Bokeo, all of which have ample natural resources and valuable preserved wildlife habitats in the north of the country. It aims to improve and promote environmental protection by providing relevant data and information, raising public awareness and providing education to the citizens so that they see the importance of the environment in their daily lives and includes encouraging and supporting the strict implementation of policies, laws and regulations on the environment. The agreement was officially signed in Vientiane on 11 July by the president of the EPF, Mr. Khampadith Khammounheaung.
