Histoire

While specific historical details of the Mondulkiri Project are limited, Mondulkiri province itself has a history of indigenous habitation and dense forest landscapes.

The province has been a focus of conservation efforts in recent decades due to threats from deforestation and habitat loss.

The project was established to address these issues by involving local communities in sustainable practices and wildlife protection.

Historically, Mondulkiri was less developed than other Cambodian provinces, preserving much of its natural environment, which the project aims to maintain.

The initiative reflects a growing recognition of the importance of preserving Cambodia's eastern forests and biodiversity.
