Output 1.2. Important peatland sites assessed and documented Output Indicator 1.2 A Number of rapid assessments conducted for significant peatland areas in the target countries (including analysis of the functions and values related to habitats, biodiversity, and carbon storage). Output Indicator 1.2 B Number of reports produced. No functions and values evaluations conducted yet. Rapid surveys were conducted for some peatlands under SEApeat and other projects. In Cambodia, mangrove peatlands along coastal areas of Koh Kong Province confirmed by SEApeat to be of regional significance. Limited surveys completed in other areas. In Lao PDR, peatlands within and around Beung Kiat Ngong were confirmed by SEApeat to be of national significance. Limited surveys completed in other areas. Target 1.2 A A total of seven assessments conducted (two in Cambodia, two in Lao PDR and three in Myanmar) of confirmed important peatlands. Target 1.2 B One final report produced per country summarizing the results of the national peatlands functions and values assessments, and identifying priorities for conservation and restoration. Review of reports on biophysical and ecosystem service assessments prepared for a representative sample of confirmed important peatlands. Review of final survey report with maps, peatland biophysical and ecosystem service assessments, and recommendations for conservation priorities. Assumptions: There are sufficient district representatives available to support the completion of the survey assessments within a reasonable time period Land access will be granted to targeted areas of interest. Risk: Insufficient human resources; inability to access land.
