WWF, Worldwide Fund

Since 2007 the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) is managing 2 protected areas in the Eastern Plains Landscape: the Mondulkiri Protected Forest (MPF) in collaboration with the government Forestry Administration (FA) and the Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary (PPWS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment. The ultimate goal is to conserve biodiversity and reducing the threats caused by unsustainable human practice by using ecotourism as a tool to finance the protected areas in the Eastern Plains Landscape and creating an additional livelihood for the communities living around these protected areas.
WWF identified potential ecotourism opportunities with high market appeal around a diversity of accommodation, such as a community home stay in Dei Ey and a planned Eco tent camp along the Srepok River– similar to the successful game reserves of South Africa – to attract tourists from all over the world.
Through targeted training, awareness raising, tourism business advice, and study tours, WWF facilitates communities in providing activities such as: elephant trekking, mountain biking, boat rides, night drives, visits to villages to see traditional dancing, and conduct cultural workshops for tourists about weaving or working on the rice field. Besides that, WWF facilitates the people in the community and local entrepreneurs to develop a variety of viable small businesses. These businesses together with the diverse accommodation and broad range of activities will form an attractive ecotourism mosaic to benefit people and nature in the Eastern Plains Landscape.
