establishment of a Conservation Economy in the CarBi planning domain and beyond, <br />
is one of the prioritized themes to be pursued in our new CarBi Communications <br />
Strategy. A summary is attached as Annex 2. The continued focus on our Forest <br />
Guards’ achievements (also in Quang Nam and Laos), as well as some special focus <br />
on 20 years of Saola Conservation (as a symbol of the undiscovered biodiversity of <br />
the Annemites) and the Xe Sap biological survey, which will unlock a wealth of new <br />
biodiversity data…and lots of media attention, are some of the low hanging fruits to <br />
be pursued in the coming months. <br />
<br />
The CarBi website www.panda.org/greatermekong/carbi has also been completed <br />
and is active since December 2011. Some minor calibrations may still be required <br />
based on comments received, but we are confident that this medium will also <br />
provide us with an ideal platform to showcase CarBi’s value offering and <br />
achievements. We will also explore possible ways to ensure more recognition for <br />
our donor by using this platform. The continued deployment of the current <br />
professional communication capacity within <strong>WWF</strong> GMP will be quite fundamental in <br />
taking us to the next CarBi communication level. <br />

5. TECHNICAL PROGRESS <br />
<br />
<br />
The Goal of this project is: <br />
For a species‐rich, trans‐border forest complex of four conservation areas in <br />
Vietnam and Laos (around 200,000 hectares) and priority areas in Vietnam in two <br />
connected corridors, a more sustainable management will be developed and <br />
implemented <br />
<br />
Indicator 1: GHG emissions that stem from forest degradation and loss will be <br />
reduced by 1,800,000 tons CO2 in 5 years through improved protected areas <br />
management (50% by project end, measured through a combination of recognized <br />
instruments, such as the application of tracking tools from the World Bank/<strong>WWF</strong>) <br />
and forest regeneration in corridors. <br />
Indicator 2: Mammal species diversity and numbers in particular for ungulate <br />
species show upward trends in the protected areas in the region. <br />
Indicator 3: The “trans‐border trade of illegally cut timber in Laos and Vietnam will <br />
be reduced by 40 % in the project region by end of 2014. <br />
Indicator 4: The sustainable management of natural forests and mechanism to <br />
compensate for the losses induced by restricted use and effective forest <br />
conservation contributes significantly to improve income of a minimum of 400 <br />
households (annual income will rise up to 15 % due to project activities). <br />
