Greater Mekong Atlas of the Environment

The Greater Mekong Subregion is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, witnessing rapid economic growth over the past two decades. Much of this has been fueled by the unsustainable use of its natural resources. While this has led to increased prosperity, it has also created immense pressure on the natural environment, including its rich and unique biodiversity. The Asian Development Bank has produced the Greater Mekong Subregion Atlas of the Environment.

2012.12_Greater_Mekong.smallPrepared for the 20th Anniversary of the Greater Mekong Subregion, this second edition of the Atlas offers a unique overview of the exquisite beauty and diversity of the subregion’s natural environment. It also highlights the tremendous progress made by the GMS countries, as well as the need to address the increasing risks that they face.
