Cambodia Community Wildlife Ranger tiger and elephant Conservation Program
2006 Full Book
The CWRP has helped define the most important large mammal conservation landscapes in Cambodia, beginning with the interview survey of local hunters and government officials in 1998, when little was known after 27 years of civil strife. The program monitored tigers, elephants and other large mammals monthly in the most important regions from 2000 to mid-2005 by employing local hunters, built conservation management capacity in the Wildlife Protection Office, developed awareness of Cambodia's wildlife at the local, national and international level, reduced poaching levels, and helped regional multi-year biodiversity conservation projects supported by international NGO's to get established. In 2005, CWRP played a major role in bringing together all Cambodia organizations to produce a map and report for STF depicting the current status of tigers and its impact on priorities for conservation in Cambodia for the next ten years as part of a range wide assessment conducted by STF, WWF & WCS.
