Project to Conserve Natural Resources and Natural Fish and Promote Community Livelihoods to Generate Better Income from Agricultural Production.
Ban Hatyao, Sanamxay District, Attapue Province, is located on the banks of the Sekong River. There are 289 households, 70 percent of which belong to the Lao Lum ethnic group. The main occupations are farming, livestock, retail trade, and employees in cassava and banana plantations on Chinese farms. In the past, the Xekong River was rich in aquatic life, and the main water resource is fish. Unfortunately, this wealth has been diminishing day by day because people in the villages do not know how to use and protect the resources. Destruction of habitats, breeding grounds, and food sources of aquatic animals is widespread in many forms, such as the use of fishing methods that lead to the extinction of animals, such as bombs, poisons, and electric shocks to catch fish for sale in markets. If people are not aware of this, aquatic animal resources and fish will become extinct. The project aims to provide technical skills in new agricultural production to the target villages and promote agricultural production in the communities to generate more income for their families, as well as enable the community to conserve natural resources and natural fish stock to achieve more abundance and sustainability.
