from http://www.vientianetimes.org.la/ "Progress on the protection of That Luang marsh, the largest remaining wetland in the capital city, was the focus of wastewater treatment officials who convened in Vientiane last week."
i cannot read the end because is don't have access.
Anyway, i worry much more about the new vietnamese golf project ( http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=98894&p=3&topicID=23507488 ) because i can be directly impacted (my family can loose their land.. and i paid a part of this land).... moreover, i think it's a stupid investment that will bring near nothing good to lao people (it would be possible to do so,many more usefull things with 1 billion$ investment and 500 Ha!!!!)
