Increase populations of sandbar-nesting bird and turtle species in Cambodia's 3S River Basin by implementing conservation incentives for nest protection; raising community awareness of conservation issues; creating community fisheries or community-managed protected areas at key nesting areas and promoting their formal recognition by government; and strengthening capacity of community members, NGO staff and university students to monitor and conserve biodiversity.

Strategic Direction: 4 Empower local communities to engage in conservation and management of priority key biodiversity areas
