Project Overview Overview
CEPF Strategic Direction Strategy

Conserve the 'Central Section' of the Mekong mainstream in Cambodia by designating key habitats as a Special Management Site, and establishing conservation management structures and capacity. Strengthen community capacity to manage natural resources, and develop sustainable alternative livelihoods that contribute to biodiversity protection and poverty reduction, such as direct payments to local people for protection of turtle and waterbird nests.

Strategic Direction: 2 Develop innovative, locally led approaches to site-based conservation at 28 key biodiversity areas
