It’s a great honor for Cambodia to be invited by the government of Jingshan to attend the 11th Bird Festival in Jingshan, Hubei, China with Ministry of Environment of Cambodia. The event was held on 11-14 April 2018 at Jingshan, Hubei province of China, organized by local government of Jingshan County.
This aims to promote the environmental protection of birds by encouraging birdwatching and responsible ecotourism activities in Hubei as well as in China and to learn how Cambodia Bird Guide Association managed the guides and communities while sharing the equal benefits to all stakeholders regarding the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in response to the world policy.
The event is organized every year in Jingshan and this the first year that the organizers would like to involve the foreign countries and Cambodia was selected this year as the first foreign country participated in this event and as advisor to Jinshan County Committee regarding ecotourism.
