SDG15 Life on Land – new topic page launched on Open Development Mekong

Land is a hotly contested resource in the LMCs , with the primary driver being economic development. Deforestation as a consequence is a major issue in the LMCs, and illegal trafficking of lumber and wildlife continue unabated. Added value through agriculture forms more than a quarter of the GDP in Cambodia and Lao, and close to ⅕ in Lao PDR and Vietnam, with land degradation a major concern.1
