Mangrove conservation and development in Cambodia
Description
In this project, volunteers will support a fishing community to protect, preserve and plant more mangrove forests, and improve the income generation opportunities for local fishermen. International volunteers have been nursing and planting more than 50,000 mangroves every year. The presence of volunteers has also enabled the community to become a very attractive eco-tourism site since 2014. It attracts thousands of tourists every year, so besides earning from fishing, local people are now also providing services for tourists to generate more income.
The project welcomes individuals who are passionate about the environment and hands-on conservation work. Volunteers will be working as active promoters of environmental and sea life preservation, and enjoying the natural environment at the same time.
Volunteers' main tasks will be organizing workshops with local people to promote the importance of mangrove forests to people, collecting mangrove seeds, seedlings, and planting mangroves in a protected area while maintaining the already planted mangroves.
Project dates:
