BANGKOK - According to the description of the International Natural Life Protection Foundation (WWF), in 2008, there are 100 plants, 28 fish, 18 reptiles, 14 water and a havyan, two mammals and birds that can live in land. Meong has also listed 1000 new types from 1997 to 2007. Stuart Chapman, Managing Director of WWF Great Mekong Program, says “There are more types that are openly waiting for discovery, as these species are finally out of daylight.”

Chapman draws attention that climate change negatively affects the living environment of these types, “Some species can adapt to climate change but some cannot be provided. This will lead to the fact that the types are not massally destroyed”. Experts depend on the discovery of numerous new types in the region, with the end of battles that last decades, transportation is easier and more investments to protect plant and animals of the region governments.
