The Challenge
The coastal communities of Cambodia, located in a region abundant with natural resources and biodiversity, are facing significant environmental conservation challenges. Community leaders and local authorities lack the capacity to manage these areas effectively and illegal fishing and deforestation are prevalent, driven by the financial struggles many community members face. The community has very limited financial resources to support patrol efforts to protect its natural resources and biodiversity.
Urgent Solutions
Their urgent solutions include:
- Policies and Laws Influence (PALI): NGO Forum on Cambodia collaborates closely with citizens to gather their input on new laws and policies, and engages with policymakers to discuss key recommendations. The goal is to ensure that new bills and policies are inclusive and cause no harm to nature or society.
- Promoting Solidarity Actions for Community Harmonization and Sustainability (SACHAS): NGOF works with all stakeholders at the grassroots level to assess their capacity and resources, both natural and man-made. This initiative also provides capacity-building support and financial resources to help communities pursue sustainable development while protecting and conserving natural resources and biodiversity, locally and beyond.
- Strengthening Resilient, Innovative, and Transformative Institutions (RITI): NGOF supports grassroots and community-based organizations, along with civil society groups, to strengthen their capacity in organizational development, program design, resource mobilization, and advocacy. Once empowered, these organizations can effectively contribute at both policy and community levels, promoting natural resource and biodiversity conservation alongside long-term livelihood development.
Why your donation matters
It is essential to strengthen NGO Forum on Cambodia’s capacity to manage and conserve natural resources and biodiversity. This will help protect and increase many populations of Cambodia’s endangered species. Additionally, the livelihoods of community members will improve through ecotourism activities and sustainable development. Mangroves absorb carbon and contribute to climate change resilience. By supporting this effort, you will play a key role in creating a lasting legacy for both nature and humanity.
