This report details seven
recommendations from the International Environmental and
Social Panel of Experts for the Nam Theun 2 (NT2)
Multipurpose Project in the Lao People s Democratic
Republic. 1) Watershed Management and Protection Authority
(WMPA) conservation patrols will be repeated at least once a
month, including the wet season. 2) The provincial and
central government authorities will take effective action to
recognize and halt the undermining of village authorities in
the Nakai Nam Theun National Protected Area (NPA) for the
illegal rosewood trade, including its participants,
supporters, and enablers. 3) The WMPA will assure that law
enforcement staff is provided at least two reliable,
functional vehicles, a boat with good motor, motorbikes and
laptops. 4) The organizations responsible for monitoring,
patrolling and enforcing management of the reservoir,
especially the WMPA and the resettlement-based village
fisher groups, will find or develop mechanisms to complement
and harmonize their activities to achieve effective
management of the reservoir and its fishery. 5) The WMPA
will develop rigorous criteria for evaluating which existing
WMPA staff meets the present requirements and which do not,
and to seek to replace the latter with university graduates
or experienced staff from conservation organizations. 6) An
institutional review of the WMPA and relevant line agencies
will be carried out to consider the functions that the WMPA
should implement in accordance with Decree 471. 7) The WMPA
will monitor track construction in the NPA, only allow
tracks that are in the agreed upon access plan, and actively
halt and as appropriate destroy any other track construction.
