This project also fostered local technical development as it supported research and analysis by the universities and researchers of the University Network for Wetland Research and Training in the Mekong Region. Not only did this work support greater scientific understanding of the critical challenge posed by POPs contamination, it advanced the development of greater local capability and transboundary cooperation in the field of wetland ecology in the Mekong Basin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
