Supporting healthy and sustainable life in Botumsakor district

Subcategories

• Environment Protection

  Natural resources such as fresh water and soil are vital for sustainable agriculture, and the forests surrounding Andong Teuk play a crucial role in both maintaining ground water level and soil preservation, plus give natural living space for a wide range of endangered wildlife species.

  An important part of BCDO's mission is the education of the young generation about the impact of deforestation and poaching and the advice about environment-friendly alternatives.
