Strengthening Community Based Bird Biodiversity Conservation and Monitoring through Local Livelihood Improvement and Capacity Building in 3S River Basin, Cambodia

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.
