About Mainland Southeast Asia

Mainland Southeast Asia holds monsoon forest, evergreen rainforest, limestone karst and some of the great river systems of Asia, and it is a region where new large mammals were still being described at the end of the twentieth century — the saola, discovered in the Annamite mountains in 1992, was the most significant such find in decades. That same region is now the epicentre of a snaring crisis: wire snares set in enormous numbers across protected forest kill indiscriminately and have emptied large areas of ground-dwelling wildlife while leaving the forest itself standing. The Mekong supports one of the largest inland fisheries in the world along with giant catfish and freshwater dolphins, and dam construction along its length has changed its flow and sediment patterns substantially.
