Stress & Pressure

Uncontrolled encroachment of the flooded forest has led to declines in fish populations and reduced income from fishery. The conversion of flooded forest to agricultural land has destroyed the vital breeding grounds and nursery habitats for fish.

Potential NbS measures

This case study area is located in Kampong Chhnang province, covering flooded forests along the Tonle Sap River, which connects the Mekong River with the Tonle Sap Lake.
