TAKING NOTES FROM CAMBODIA'S CONSERVATION STRATEGIES |
|
|
TCF was one among premier Indian and Nepali conservation NGOs, a delegation of conservation professionals from which were invited on an exposure visit to Cambodia to explore the ongoing Bengal Florican conservation project here. This visit, coordinated by TCF on behalf of the delegates, was hosted by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Ministry of Environment, Cambodia and supported by Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. There was much to be learned observing effective conservation strategies with community engagement, with potential for adaptation of these measures to the Indian conservation context. |
