Goal

To enhance the capabilities of Cambodian forestry workers in protecting and cultivating germplasm resources of precious and endangered species, while also fostering the development of a green economy in rural areas.

Objectives

Conserve and develop genetic resources of valuable tree species in Cambodia through the collection, propagation, and plantation of germplasm resources.

Boost the capacity and knowledge of local government staff and foresters through comprehensive capacity-building programs.

Promote conservation of natural resources and reduce community reliance on forests by providing alternative livelihoods, including the establishment of an eco-farm and other rural economic development initiatives.

Disseminate and promote project experiences and lessons learned through publications, leaflets, posters, videos, and online platforms to sustain and extend management activities beyond the project’s completion.

Expected outputs

Construct a tree breeding center.

Establish a greenhouse, tissue culture lab, and diagnostic laboratory.

Gather valuable tree germplasm resources from across Cambodia.

Cultivate seedlings of high-value tree species in Siem Reap.

Develop a forest genetic conservation garden for valuable tree species.

Conduct ten local training sessions focused on seedling cultivation and afforestation technology.

Offer international training opportunities.

Build a demonstration site for a 20-hectare sustainable eco-forest farm, providing alternative livelihoods for 10 farmers.

Publish the book “Major Indigenous Valuable Timber Tree Species in Cambodia.”

Disseminate best practices and lessons learned extensively.
