Although the rules regarding REDD have not been set, it is already clear that the extent to which an individual country will be able to attract international investment and REDD payments will depend to a considerable extent on its ability to put in place a system that rewards forest managers who are changing their behavior to reduce deforestation and degradation......►

IUCN ; IUCN Cambodia

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary (PKWS) is one of the most significant coastal wildlife sanctuaries in Cambodia because it maintains a size able area of both mangrove forest and evergreen forest, as well as a number of globally threatened species. However, both unique habitat and critically endangered species in the sanctuary have been declining at an alarming rate (especially from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s) due to human activities such as charcoal production, over fishing, over exploitation of wildlife and NTFPs, land clearance for agriculture, and illegal hunting which have also grown along with immigration into the sanctuary and urbanization of the surrounding area......►

SocMon is a set of guidelines for establishing a socioeconomic monitoring programme at a coastal management site in South Asia. SocMon is most appropriate at the study site level. The guidelines provide a prioritised list of socioeconomic variables useful to coastal managers as well as the questions for data collection and the tables for data analysis.

The Tonle Sap Fishery Community Consultation Meeting was run under honorably presided by H.E El Soy, deputy of provincial governor of Battambang province, and under the coordination and auspices of The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on 15 February 2010 at Sangke Hotel, Battambang province by followed on a previous 3-month research  

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary (PKWS) was one of twentythree protected areas declared under a Royal Decree in 1993. Within the area are large areas of mangrove and of evergreen forests. PKWS is rich in biodiversity (PMMR, 2000). Apart from considerable floral biodiversity, twenty-four species of mammals, at least twenty-eight species of birds and a large number of marine species have been identified (An Dara et al. 2009). A number of the identified species are globally threatened. The total area of the sanctuary is just

Managing natural resources for both biodiversity and livelihoods (of the rural poor in particular) is possible if an integrated, participatory approach is taken to understand their linkages, interdependence and the implications of conservation interventions, such as applying proposed zoning regulations.

Cambodia is situated in the Indochinese Peninsula adjacent to the Gulf of Thailand with a land area of 181,035 square kilometers. The territory is characterised by a central floodplain surrounded by the Cardamom mountains in the southwest, Dangrek mountains in the north, and the coastal-marine ecosystem in the south. The Mekong River and the Tonle Sap Lake are the most important freshwater bodies of Cambodia central floodplains, which form a unique and complex ecological system containing rich natural resources base for the Cambodian.
