WWF’s primary mission is to ensure that people at all levels and from all sectors participate in conserving the country’s rich biological diversity. In short, WWF-Cambodia promotes the protection and survival of flora and fauna while enhancing local livelihoods by working to reduce poverty. Four of WWF’s global ecoregions – areas of outstanding terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats - are located in Cambodia, and WWF-Cambodia focuses on two of these, Mekong Flooded Forest (MFF) and Eastern Plains Landscape (EPL).
Mekong Flooded Forest
The Mekong Flooded Forest (MFF) landscape stretches across the provinces of Kratie and Stung Treng. It presents a wealth of fish biodiversity and is home to many endangered species including the hog deer – thought to be extinct before its rediscovery by WWF in 2006 – and the iconic Irrawaddy dolphins. The WWF adopts a holistic approach to this landscape, coordinating activities within and surrounding Protected Areas where human settlements and agricultural and industrial production are located. This allows WWF to nurture coordination among all stakeholders to ensure that development is sustainable, at same time conserving natural resources.
Eastern Plains Landscape
The Eastern Planes Landscape (EPL) is similarly one of the richest sources of biological diversity in the world. For instance, in the Protected Areas of Mondulkiri province can be found Cambodia’s largest population of Asian elephants, a breeding population of the extremely rare Siamese crocodiles, along with Indochinese leopards, and the world’s largest population of banteng. In addition, there are more than 334 bird species including at least 14 that have been cited as ‘globally threatened’ by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
