Assessment of the current status of biodiversity—at both ecosystem and species levels—to support sustainable socio-economic development and inform biodiversity conservation planning in the Mekong region.

Provision of an updated, standardized database on natural ecosystems and associated biodiversity to support ecosystem and biodiversity assessments, as well as monitoring of changes in the Mekong Delta.

Development of a modern WebGIS-based portal and mobile applications to raise awareness and promote broad access to and use of the biodiversity database.

Digital Databases: These databases will compile all collected information on ecosystems and associated biodiversity in the Mekong Delta. They will feature the most up-to-date data available, offering a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the natural environment. The databases will serve as valuable tools for sustainable ecosystem and biological resource planning and management, including socio-economic development, conservation efforts, and monitoring of ecosystem changes and biodiversity trends within the Mekong Delta and the broader Mekong Basin.

WebGIS-Based Portal: The project will develop a website, Ecobank Mekong, which will integrate the biodiversity databases mentioned above. The portal is designed for broad access and will serve various stakeholders, including the general public, international and national agencies, research and educational institutions, and individual scientists. A detailed report on the current status of ecosystems and biodiversity in the Mekong Delta will also be published and made publicly available through the Ecobank Mekong portal.
