Building Sustainability for the Mekong Turtle Conservation Project in Kratie, Cambodia

Strengthen community-based conservation in the Mekong mainstream, upstream of Kratie, with a particular focus on the population and habitat of the Endangered Asian giant softshell turtle (Pelochelys cantorii). The project will increase cooperation between the Fisheries Administration and local communities; promote financial sustainability for community-based protection through ecotourism; and strengthen the capacity of a community fishery to include turtle and fish conservation in its management activities.
