Summary
The Cardamom Rainforest Landscape, Cambodia forms part of a global biodiversity hotspot and is a major source of high-value wildlife products for the illegal wildlife trade. Poverty drives local engagement in illegal wildlife trade. By establishing Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) in key communities, this project will provide the infrastructure, skills, and management required to generate sustainable livelihoods. Through establishing CBET, and addressing drivers of wildlife trade and poverty within the landscape, this project will create a barrier to wildlife trade.
