Abstract

© 2019, Thai Society of Higher Eduation Institutes on Environment. All Rights Reserved. Priority areas for conservation planning (core, and transition areas) in Dong Na Tard Provincial Protected Area, Savannakhet Province, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) were identified using data on total conservation values of plant species and anthropogenic threats. Weighted score method was used to determine the core and transition areas. Two core areas had an area of 3,303 ha and 1,664 ha respectively while the transition area comprised of 1,303 ha. The core areas for conservation should be institutionalized through a policy to ensure conservation of plant diversity and sustain ecosystem services for the people and society.
