Secure core populations of a suite of globally threatened bird species at four sites in Cambodia through a series of innovative conservation interventions focusing on providing direct incentives to local communities, namely payments for birds' nest protection, improved value-chains for 'wildlife-friendly' produce and ecotourism development. Strengthen the capacity of local organizations to engage in long-term conservation efforts for these species.

Strategic Direction: 1 Safeguard priority globally threatened species in Indochina by mitigating major threats
