One of the main issues in regard to the decline of bird species, in Cambodia, is that of breeding failure. In response to this, and together with the local community groups, CBGA supports the nest protection program (nest protection in Tmatboey). We focus on critically endangered species, such as

The decrease in a population follows a similar pattern to that of megafauna and other wildlife. The carcasses of these animals are what the vultures feed on. CBGA is part of the Cambodia Vulture Working Group.

Consider forest pond modification as a sustainable solution. By implementing simple techniques, such as creating deeper basins and building small dams, you can effectively store water in forest ponds. This modification not only benefits animals by providing them with a reliable water source during the arid months but also contributes to the overall ecosystem’s health. Animals depend on these water bodies for drinking, bathing, and even breeding. Moreover, the increased water availability supports a greater variety of species, promoting biodiversity. So, if you’re passionate about conservation and want to make a positive impact, consider forest pond modification to help animals survive and thrive in the face of water scarcity.

We facilitate access to remote villages and encourage community participation in the decision-making process and the management of such enterprises. With this kind of initiative, we can improve and sustain a way of life for people inside the protected areas. We believe this kind of responsible tourism, running alongside our conservation and education programs, is the best way to preserve the Cambodian countryside. This contributes to a sustainable existence for people living in the conservation areas. It also allows us to the opportunity to collect information and monitor any changes to the local environment.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” gap=”5″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1570414551155{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]CBGA has set up sustainably funded ecotourism projects, managed by local communities, at various sites across Cambodia. The purpose of these initiatives is to support alternative livelihoods for people living inside the protected areas. This is tied to a policy of no hunting and stopping deforestation.
