Our biodiversity monitoring and human-wildlife coexistence programs focus on protecting Cambodia’s threatened species while addressing threats from habitat loss, conflict, and wildlife trafficking. In Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, efforts to reduce conflict between communities and Asian elephants include early warning systems, crop protection measures, and community outreach to minimize risks and promote coexistence. Advanced monitoring tools, including camera traps and acoustic technology, track species' population trends like the Black-shanked douc langur and Yellow-cheeked crested gibbon to ensure accurate data drive conservation strategies.
Another priority is countering wildlife trafficking. WCS protects vital species such as the Critically Endangered Royal Turtle and Cantor’s Giant Softshell Turtle through nest protection, habitat restoration, and enforcement programs that disrupt illegal trade networks. All of these initiatives integrate science, enforcement, and community engagement to secure biodiversity while reducing the pressures threatening wildlife and the communities that depend on these ecosystems.
