Strengthen local youth networks in eight provinces of Thailand to play significant roles in environmental conservation of the Mekong River by building capacity for production and dissemination of knowledge on riverine biodiversity conservation. Assist youths to document local environmental issues and communicate them to the public. Support the development of three community-learning centers as models for other river basins in Thailand.

Strategic Direction: 6 Engage key actors in mainstreaming biodiversity, communities and livelihoods into development planning in the priority corridors
